Make your way through the dark path and battle the ninjas. When you reach the clearing, take your bow and eliminate the rocket launcher ninja on the right side. He’s adjacent to the shop. Carefully get into the water and

use the Gatling Spear Gun to eliminate all of the mines. Wait for them to respawn and continue to shoot them until they stop appearing. Exit the water and access the shop. Buy items as needed—especially Incendiary Shuriken for use in the next section.

Carefully move along the water left of the shop. Stop and destroy mines and continue. They will respawn so keep shooting until they’re gone. Find a path in the back corner and see it winds through to a structure at the end. Kill the rocket launcher ninja next to the save point.

Go through the building and recover arrows from the corpse. There rocket launcher ninjas across the water—kill them and others spawn. Move forward and they fire; dodge the rockets and use charged arrows to eliminate the threat. Defeating the first group triggers a second. If you don’t want to battle from long-range—it’s very difficult because there is little cover against the continuous bombardment—then cross the water toward the boat dock on the left side and get onto the village platforms from there.

This can be one of the more challenging sections of the game…if you forgot to purchase Incendiary Shuriken. But here’s a tip to clear this part. If you have Incendiary Shuriken, just run along the water in front of the village and go back and forth. You will be fast enough to avoid rockets. As you get close to an enemy, just toss an Incendiary Shuriken. The explosion disables the rocket launcher. Keep doing it until all of the spawns are harmed then go up into the village and mop up. If you suffer damage during these maneuvers, run back to the start location and you should receive health regeneration.

Leap onto the platforms behind the dock and find a chest containing an item as well as a nearby corpse with another item. Continue through the village. To get there, run along the left wall to cover the gap. Search a chest on the right side for essence. Move left and down the steps clearing out any rocket launcher ninjas here. Search a chest for arrows and another out on the dock for a Devil Way Mushroom. Another building to the left contains a chest with health; search behind up some stairs for a chest with a Life of the Gods.

Killing all of the ninjas opens the gate at the far end of the water—and here comes the gigantic mechanized hostiles. Defeat them with ninpo or use the Kusari-gama’s strong attack up close. Jump away when the hostile is defeated to avoid the explosion damage. Eliminate all of them and the gate lowers completely.

Return to the boat dock and go left to a gate. Open the gate and walk to a chest. Recover the Jade Mask. Return to the lake and defeat more water robots. Cross through the gate that opened when you killed the first group. Examine the yellow circle in the back and you will use the Jade Mask.

Dive down and swim through the newly opened passage. Exit and search the left side for a chest. Jump and swing from branch to branch over the water. Defeat some ninjas in the tunnel and find the rope overhead. Start across but when the rocket launcher ninjas appear either drop or return and use Incendiary Shuriken or arrows to eliminate. If you drop in the water, use the Gatling Spear Gun to clear the mines. After falling, head back to the area start location.

Tip: While crossing the area on the rope, stop in the middle and turn ato the right and face the tree in the middle. Swing to the branch and continue over to the crystal skull positioned inside a tree trunk. There’s also a shop to its right.

On the other side, crush a group of ninjas before saving at the save point. There’s an alcove to the left just before the save point; a hidden chest in here contains an item. Defeat any remaining ninjas and save before moving into the next area.

A ton of spiked creatures crowd the closed in area. Switch to the Kusari-gama and use hit and run attacks. This looks like a battle area! Go to the middle and trigger a horde of spiked creatures. They’re small but like the scorpions from earlier, these creatures are deadly in groups. Keep them away using the Kusari-gama. Avoid getting too close or one may jump and latch on. Hit and run techniques to stay away from the groups; if there’s a

bunch of essence around, use an ultimate attack. After the fight, use a charged attack to break the boulder. Proceed through the tunnel and battle what seems like an endless stream of spiked creatures. Use the Kusari- gama in hit and run tactics to kill everything in your path.

Eventually you’ll come to a series of rooms on either side of the main tunnel. Search these rooms for eggs containing blue, red, or yellow essence. Some of the rooms also drop in spiked creatures. Continue down the tunnel until you hear the rumble: you’ve disturbed a giant worm.

Boss Battle: Giant Worm

There are a couple ways to tackle this beast. Get into an alcove and you can see the Giant Worm maneuver quickly through the tunnels. You can remain in an alcove while planning your attack. If you have arrows, you can actually just sit inside the alcove, charge an arrow, and fire when the worm moves past. You will inflict damage, though it will take many shots in order to eliminate the beast. But you are remaining in the safety of the alcove so if you have enough arrows, it’s possible to complete the battle without putting yourself at risk.

Alternatively you can stay in the alcove or go into the tunnel and charge an ultimate with your favorite weapon, such as the dual katana or Lunar Staff. Charge and wait for the worm to arrive then unleash the attack to stop the worm. You will have to face the worm’s incoming direction if you plan to stand out in the tunnel. Attack the

worm’s head once it has been stopped. Note that if you miss the original attack you will be dragged along the tunnel and suffer huge damage. If you survive, explore the alcoves and break open any eggs you have left behind to recover essence (hopefully health).

Take note that if you die during the battle with the Giant Worm, you must restart from the last save point. That means battling all of those spiked creatures a second time.

Go through the rest of the tunnel and drop down. You reach a save point. Continue to the clearing; walk inside to trigger worms. Look on the right side of the area to locate a crystal skull, the twenty-fourth in the game. Battle the worms or just run through the area and back into the jungle. Don’t miss the corpse on the ground; it has a new weapon, the Vigoorian Flail.

At the water spot the gigantic eels. Drop in but don’t swim under water. Switch to the Gatling Spear Gun and shoot the eels while remaining slightly above water. You should be able to clear everything out without much harm. Search the right side lake bottom for a chest. On the opposite side, look for a dead body with a Devil Way Mushroom. Look inside the tree left of the corpse to find a chest and its Jewel of the Devil contents. Continue across to the save game point adjacent to the Test of Valor. There’s also a shop on the opposite side.

Tip: The seventh Test of Valor is probably the easiest. The enemies include the scorpions and spiked creatures. They’re certainly deadly in numbers but it’s pretty easy to equip the Kusari-gama and use hit and run quick attacks. It will take some time but just stay away from the larger groups. Get in, attack, and then get out. The reward is worth the effort: open the reward chest and recover a Talisman of Rebirth. The other chest has ghostly fish.

Approach the wall between the save point and shop and examine the wall. Turn around and battle the chainsaw zombies! These are slow enemies but fire a long-range weapon as well as have a close-range chainsaw attack. Keep close but quick. Dodge swiftly and use fast attack maneuvers. The Vigoorian Flail works well. They’re also slow enough where you can use a bow from long-range; a charged shot can disable the zombie rocket. Check back in the lake and kill the gigantic eels using the same method as before: get into the water and don’t swim

There are a few items worth getting in this area. Check this corpse and also look inside the tree to find an item chest.

Return to the stone wall and open it. Drop into the water. Check the left path for a chest. Return to the water, swim down, and continue through the tunnel. Exit out the other side and trigger a cut scene. Battle a horde of the chainsaw zombie creatures. Dive into the water and swim to the bottom. There’s a crystal skull here. Continue up the rocky incline and face off against more zombies. Walk to the circular platform and prepare to fight.

Boss Battle: Two Giant Flying Demons

You have plenty of room to maneuver on this circular arena—which is a good thing because you must battle and defeat two giant flying demons. Equip the bow. There’s a corpse in the back right corner of the arena to replenish your arrows. Expect to exhaust your ammunition at least one time so recall the location of the corpse so you can get there quickly and resume the battle.

Use charged arrow shots to shoot the giant flying demons in the head. Your adversaries have a couple attacks, including two different long-range fireballs. One is slow moving and the other is a bit faster with more projectiles. Dodge these by moving away and to the side. The explosive radius is big so get as far away as possible. The giant flying demons also have a sweeping laser attack as well as a devastating close-range fire attack. Don’t allow one to hover above you; instead move away and look to shoot at long-range. The demons leave themselves

vulnerable while they shoot the long-range fireball but you must get off the shot and dodge quickly to avoid the blast.

Using charged arrows is the way to go because they inflict big damage. It’s actually possible to just hop around and shoot standard arrows. You will make successful hits but the damage is low. This is a slow strategy but could work but it’s definitely easier to go for higher damage blows. It’s hard to target the main bosses if you’re shooting randomly…this is because there are escorts in the form of smaller flying demons.

possible to ignore them and just target the bigger beasts. Take aim, charge an arrow to the maximum, fire, and then dodge and get to safety before taking aim again.

Because there are two of them, it’s important to make an attempt to fire on the same giant flying demon so you can get rid of one as quickly as possible. Battling just one is much easier! You can use ninpo, such as Inferno or Void, to aid in the battle. Use if you get stuck close to one of the demons and need both the protection of the ninpo as well as its damaging effects against the boss.
