Ninja Gaiden Black Walkthrough

2008-02-25T23:01:00.035-05:00

Hello everybody :D

I'm GODSLAYER, this is my first blog, so if u have any suggestion, feel free to send it to me.

In this blog i'll try to give you a very complete Ninja Gaiden Black guide based on my experience with the game.

So, lets get started ;)

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

++ WALKTHROUGH ++

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

CHAPTER 1: WAY OF THE NINJA

Start your morning with a fresh kill.

-OBJECTIVE: Enter the Ninja Fortress and find the Fangs of the Samurai

-Scripted fight: Yellow-walled room. Kill the ninjas and run for the Fangs.

-Objective: Get the Key of Courage and head to the Inner Sanctum

Insert the Fangs on the display and dash over to Murai.

Scripted fight: Inner Sanctum

Kill all the ninjas as fast as you can (be sure to SAVE!).

-BOSS BATTLE: MURAI W/ WHITE NINJAS

The only distraction here is the Shurikens that ninjas toss at you. Also, try NOT to stay too close to Murai. Other than that, maintain the tactic of waiting for Murai to either do a Rush Attack or a somersault and then counter with an XYY combo.

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

CHAPTER 2: THE HAYABUSA VILLAGE

This Chapter is essentially unchanged (except for the Black Spider ambush) from its original version.

-Objective: Head for the Village Entrance

-Objective: Obtain the Bow and find Doku!Obtain the Bow from Ayane (but don't kill her with it, ya sicko!) and dash outside.

-SUB-BOSS BATTLE: HORSEMEN

Use the Lunar for this battle. Keep using the Twilight combo on any horseman to unseat them off the horse. Use a UT to finish them off quickly.

-BOSS BATTLE: MASAKADO W/ WARLOCKSThe tactic is simple: evade the Warlock fireballs and kill them. Use the essence they leave behind and unleash a UT on Masakado. Repeat.

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

CHAPTER 3: SKIES OF VENGEANCE

Just like Chapter 2, this Chapter is essentially unchanged. You can beat this Chapter in under 15 minutes and get Master Ninja rank easily.

-Objective: Get the Map and the Wing Key.Grab the map in the third room first. You can ignore the fight in this small room but I suggest you kill the two soldiers just in case.

-Scripted fight: Kill the soldiers and get the Wing Key.

-Scripted fight: Cabin RoomKill the soldiers in the cabin to unlock the door.

-Objective: Find the ID card.Make a mad dash to the Control Room!

-Scripted fights: Control RoomKill the soldiers and grab the ID card.

-Objective: Destroy the Engine RoomMake a mad dash to the room with the crank.

-Scripted fight: Aft Cabin Kill the soldiers that come rappelling in and continue the objective. Kill the other two soldiers with the bow and cross the zipline to the Aft Cabin. Kill the lone soldier and finish the objective.

-Objective: Head for the roof of the zeppelinDash for the roof! Decimate the enemies in the way and then unlock the hatch. Be sure to use the well-hidden Save Point across from the ladder to the roof.

-BOSS BATTLE: DYNAMO W/ MSAT SOLDIERS

Unlike the Murai fight, your best strategy is to stay as close to Dynamo as possible. Block his melee attacks and evade his grab and then quickly counter with an XYY combo.When you stay close to Dynamo, his backhand attacks will usually always kill the MSAT soldiers (relieving you of that duty) so STAY CLOSE TO HIM! This fight should take no less than a minute to finish.

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

CHAPTER 4: IMPERIAL CITY INFILTRATION

This Chapter introduces robotic soldiers and the catwomen into the fold. Have those reflexes ready and the Intercept ready!

-Objective: Head to Muramasa's ShopDecimate all soldiers and head up to the Military Base Entrance.

-Scripted fight: Military Base EntranceKill all the soldiers and then continue past the unlocked single-jeweled door.

-Objective: Get the Spirit of the DevilsAcross the multi-jeweled door is a set of stairs going up the building. Fight off the soldiers and kill the catwomen. Once that's done grab the SOTD in the chest and jump down.

-Objective: Unlock the multi-colored door and head to Han's Bar.

-Scripted fight: Muramasa's ShopBefore unlocking the green-jeweled door, fight off a bunch of soldiers. Complete the objective and run to Han's Bar. If the catwomen are giving you problems then kill them.

-Objective: Grab the Windmill Shuriken and go back to Muramasa.Make a mad dash to Muramasa's shop and buy something and run back to Han's Bar!

-BOSS BATTLES: NONE

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

CHAPTER 5: CITY OF FIENDS

Same as Chapter 4.

-Objective: Release the Drawbridge

Make a mad dash to the Pegasus Key (you can jump down from the roof if you don't want to fight soldiers in the club).After getting the key on your way back to unlock the door, kill the three catwomen (if you need to) and then open the door and release the Drawbridge. Make a mad dash for the Monastery Area Clearing.

-Objective: Head for the Monastery

-Scripted fight: Monastery PlazaThe gates will slam shut at the Monastery Plaza. Fight off all the soldiers and continue the objective. Fight the black ninjas and head for the Monastery Area Clearing.

-Scripted fight: Monastery Area ClearingFight off the soldiers before the red-dino fiends show up.

-SUB-BOSS BATTLE: RED-DINO FIENDS

-BOSS BATTLE: HYDRACUBUS W/ BROWN FIENDS

Try not to focus on killing the lackeys. Even if they leave essence when killed, a UT will not damage the boss when both of its tentacles are still attached. Instead, stay close to Hydracubus and use rolls to avoid being slapped (it'll slap the lackeys for you). Just keep doing the Flying Swallow attack on its tentacles and using the UT when it's vulnerable.

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

CHAPTER 6: THE MONASTERY

There is a brand new boss in this Chapter and it'll kill you to know who it is. Hopefully, you know how to overcome yourself.

-Objective: Obtain the Book of EonsMake a mad dash for the Monk's Room on the second floor as soon as the chapter starts.

-BOSS BATTLE #1: RYU + TRUE DRAGON SWORD

This guy can be a serious treah, but nothing u cannot handle, just stay close to him, block his atacks, roll back and counter attack with a combo. I recomend to abuse of the Izuna Drop on this guy.

-Scripted fight: Monk's RoomOnce you obtain the Book of Eons (and the statue) kill all the fiends to unlock the door. Jump down to the Altar Room and place the book on the altar and jump down to the Corridor of Doom.

-Objective: Obtain the Holy GrailRun down the Corridor Of Doom and make a mad dash to the Ritual Room. DON'T JUMP from the top of Econtra Babel Specus or else! (NOTE: Don't forget the Vigoorian Flails!)

-Scripted fight: Ritual RoomKill all the Wasp fiends and zombies and grab the Holy Grail. Run out to the rotating platform while killing the zombies outside the Ritual Room. Make a mad dash back to Econtra Babel Specus with Incendiary Shuriken equipped. Use it on the three archers on the way up and complete the objective.

-BOSS BATTLE #2: BONE DRAGON W/ WASP FIENDS

Use evasive rolls and keep an eye on the dragon's attacks instead of trying to waste the Wasp Fiends. Use the Flying Swallow on the Wasp Fiends to quickly kill them (and release Blue Essence) if they get in your way. Run up to the dragon's limbs and use the Fang of the Wolf attack (XXYY) and an XYY combo to hurt it. Also, DO NOT waste time charging for a UT because it WON'T work!

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

CHAPTER 7: THE HIDDEN UNDERGROUND

No new features or surprises here.

After the fight from Chapter 6, DO NOT jump down! Head for the save point AND THEN jump down!

-Objective: Head to the Chamber of Everlasting SleepScurry past the four archers and head for Muramasa's statue to upgrade your sword. Don't cross the bridge in the Suspension Bridge Room! Jump down instead. Kill the zombies and the pink fiends and head to the red or blue door.

-Scripted fights: Red and Blue RoomTechnically, none of the zombie archer fights in the blue or red room are scripted but use your bow and take them all out as fast as you can anyway. Continue the objective.

-BOSS BATTLE #1: HYDRACUBUS

Aren't you tired of this "boss" already?

-Objective: Go back to the MonasteryContinue the objective and make a mad dash past the archers and zombies to the chamber. After the flooding occurs, save your game. Take the underwater elevator; and head back to the Altar Room.

-BOSS BATTLE #2: ALMA W/ BROWN FIENDSBULLETPROOF

This is a very tough bitch, u have to be very evasive and try to keep your distance, ignore the lakeys, try to take here down with a Flying Shallow and then use a Blade of Nirrti or a Gleaming Blade on her. repeat.

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

CHAPTER 8: TAIRON UNDER ALERT

No new features or surprises here.

-Objective: Obtain the Strongbow

Make a mad dash for the Drawbridge.

-Scripted fight: The gates slam shut near Monastery Plaza again. Kill all the armored soldiers and scurry along for the Strongbow.(Alternate route: After crossing the Drawbridge to the blue-jeweled door, run to the chest where you found the Pegasus Key and jump down from there and head back to the Lily Door. This way you don't deal with RPG-soldiers shooting rockets at you) Dash over to the door with skull and complete the objective.

-Scripted fight: Military Base Entrance #1

After obtaining the bow, head for the Military Base Entrance with Incendiary Shuriken equipped. Kill the two gunmen and wait for the helicopter.

-Objective: Find the Shutter Key and exit the Warehouse

You can ignore the mini-copters or waste precious time shooting them down with APFSDS Cores or the Windmill Shuriken. DO NOT use Explosive Arrows here! You need them for the Tank fight. If you choose to ignore these copters, then remember that when you press the block button their lasers won't fling Ryu a dozen feet away (but he'll still take damage!) Complete the objective and exit the Warehouse.

-Scripted fight: Locomotive Turntable

You'll fight wave after wave of armored soldiers (remember, ultimate attacks are your friend here). Kill them all then save your game. Now head for the unlocked door.

-BOSS BATTLE #1: TANKS X2

This is an easy fight, use an explosive arrow to kill the gunner, then take it aout with APFSDS Cores, evade the big proyectile that it shoots at you simply by rolling back. Repeat.

-Objective: Destroy the Communication Tower

-BOSS BATTLE #2: TOMAHAWK HELICOPTER

What can i say? just shot it down with the APFSDS cores, the missiles it shoots r easy to avoid, just roll asaide.

-Objective: Escape the base

Destroy the radio tower and then activate the locomotive. Complete the objective to end the level.

Ignore the fiends here and get the Brand Of Valor and insert it on the ground near the exit.
