Touch the screen on the main menu once, select a slot to start the game.At the beginning only Normal mode is available.

After the openning scene, have a little practice with Ryu. You can't hithim, and you can block by pressing any button. After a short while tranning,

the game will begin with the Chapter 1.

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

In the mountains of spring,there walk a young man andwomen. Both have chosen thepath of the Ninja.

~Once you gain control of the character, move to the top of the map and readthe tutorial as well while going through the path.

~The first Dragon Statue (save point) found before the tunnel.

~Once you've done, enter the tunnel or you can have more fight in a smallarea on the right.

#= Village Tunnel

~There's some optional areas as you can see on the map, nothing special otherthan to fight more enemies in those areas.

*NOTE:I found the Wood Amulet 42 at the bottom left area on Head Ninja mode,the second level count from the bottom. I believe it's also available

on Normal mode. Listen to something like eagle in in this area, blowto the microphone and shoot down the flying thing to obtain it.

~Follow the path to the top and you can see another Dragon Statue before theexit.


~Move to left and defeat the enemies. Eventually the boss appears.

~BOSS BATTLEThe boss deals large damage to Momiji, but it is not necessory to win this,

just fight as you can.

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

CHAPTER 2 - "Hayabusa Village"

The hidden Hayabusa village.

Finally rebuilt after the eventsof the Dark Dragon Blade Incident,a new danger threatens thisisolated settlement...

#= Hayabusa Village

~Make your way to the bottom left area of the map. Get pass the spider webdoor, later on you will meet with Muramasa. Defeat all the enemies and thentalk to Muramasa for the Art of the Inferno.

~Back to the spider web door and use the Art of the Inferno fire ball to burndown the spider web.

~Continue to the room will be sealed, defeat all enemies to obtainthe Obara's Secret.

~Move on to top of the map, defeat somemore enemies on the path. Beware ofthe falling boulder which can give you lot of damage, however the bloudersfall on the same route, so make sure you stay on the "untouchable" positionwhile shooting the enemy archers.

~Use the next the Dragon Statue. Following area you will face lot of enemies,kill them and move left. There will be another Dragon Statue before the boss.

~BOSS BATTLEStay abit left from the boss, that's mean the boss is now on your right.If you get it right, keep slashing it by just using the normal attack andthe boss will trying to hit you but it will always fail. Simply defeat theboss by doing this as the boss is on the ground.

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

CHAPTER 3 - "Monastery Illusion"

An imprisoned Momiji.

Ryu finds himself in the Forestof Shadows, looking for anyclues as to her whereabouts...

#= Shadow of Forest

~Defeat all enemies at the beginning. Roll close to the archers and kill themfirst since they're quite annoying.

~Back to the Village Tunnel.

#= Village Tunnel

~Head to right where the Dragon Statue and the spider web are. Burn down thespider web with Art of the Inferno.

~Go right and jump up the cliff to return the village.

#= Hayabusa Village

~Go find Muramasa in the middle part of the map.

#= Monastery

~Defeat all enemies to unseal the door.


6/24

~A Dragon Statue can be found in the main hall. Take the right door in themain hall since the front gate is locked.

~Move through the passage to the right. Lot of enemies appear here, but notnecessory to fight.

~Go upstairs, then to left until the end. You will eventually reach to topleft corner of the map.

~In the last room, use Shuriken to shoot all three lights when they turn toblue. If you shoot the red light, some enemies will be spawned.

~Once you've unlocked the main gate, try listen to the eagle voice insidethe three red-blue lights room. Trigger it on the right and shoot it downfor Wood Amulet 43 (I got it on Head Ninja mode, should also available onNormal mode).

~Afterwards, head back to previous area. Make sure use the Dragon Statue onthe balcony because you will face some strong enemies.

~When you reach to the stairs, you have to defeat all enemies to unseal thearea. Don't just slash like fighting with other fiends, this type is stronger.Try use more jump and slash attack (slide up and slide horizontal or down),and not staying at the same position too long. If you choose to use Ninpo,

Art of the Inferno is recommended for this type of fiends.

~Afterwards, back down to the main hall. Use the Dragon Statue to save andrecover, then head up for more fights.

~Defeat all enemies that appear. Again, use more jump attacks for the beasttype enemies. Later on will face the boss.

#= Hayabusa Village

~Speak with Denroku to learn about the Sea Swallow. After that, shout or blowthe microphone when you hear something like eagle voice, then shoot it withShuriken when it appears. Once you done, find the Wood Amulet 38 at the topright corner.

~As Denroku mention, you may hear this in the battlefield after the fighting,so pay attention on this voice to collect more Wood Amulets. This item is tounlock the gallery (image/scene/diary) in the "Prize" section after completedthe game once. And there's total 45 Wood Amulet in the game.

~Next step, go down and find Muramasa, talk to him to trigger a scene.Buy the Lives of the Thousand Gods before you go, if you have enough goldfor other items, just get it.

~Now return to Stone Circle Cove.


~Take the dark red stone circle to the next area.

8/24

slashing from the back. Once you hurt it, it will fall down for a short while,now recommend make a full charge of your Ultimate Technique to deal a maximumdamage. Needless to say, slash it somemore before it wakes up. Repeat the samemoves to finish it off.

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

CHAPTER 5 - "Legendary Fiends"

The Dark Dragonstones.

Ryu has no choice but to gowhere they guide him.What awaits him on thisperilous journey?

The paths to Momiji has neverseemed longer...

#= Hayabusa Village

~After the beginning scene, head back to bottom right of the map.

~Before you jump into the well, you can find Wood Amulet 3. But you shouldstay abit middle of this area to find that Sea Swallow.

#= Village Tunnel

~The second area needs you to defeat all enemies in order to get pass.

~Head to the right exit to Forest of Shadows.


*NOTE:Out of the tunnel will meet the village ninja. Now if you go right youwill enter the battle, but if you choose left, you can obtain somemoreWood Amulets. The following steps are pointing you to the Wood Amulets.

~Around the Dragon Statue, you may hear the voice again, it's Wood Amulet 11(around right of this area).

~Follow the path to the bottom, you can find the Wood Amulet 14 in the waterarea before the last section.

~Enter the cave from waterfall to Village Tunnel, then destroy the boulderwith Art of the Inazuma and you can find the Wood Amulet 40 at the inner side.

~After all, head back to the top right area, use the Dragon Statue to savebefore entering the fight.

~You will face alot of enemies here, perform a Ninpo to kill partial of them.Lately, some new enemmies appear who usually attack with magic, and theirmagic can chain up tons of damage. For safety, make sure you stop attackingand evade their magic attack when the blue light shinning on the ground,return them your counterattack on the suitable chance.


9/24

#= Hayabusa Village

~Afterwards, you appear in the village and obtained a bow. Now enter thestone circle again.


~Take the top left circle for your next destination.

#= Underground Mausoleum

~Run pass or defeat the mummies. You would see a locked gate not far fromthe beginning area, leave it for a moment.

~Continue to the top area of the map. On the bridge section, you can ignorethe archers on the side. Guard or roll to dodge their arrows.

~At the end of the bridge, shoot the blue light on the circle to unlock thegate that you passed just now, then defeat all enemies to unseal the area.

~Head back to previous area, you now can reach to the left area.

~Jump down the tunnel. Head to the left of the map. Shoot the blue light atthe end to unlock the gate near the Dragon Statue.

~Follow the path to upper area. Where you find the boulder can also find theWood Amulet 9. Destroy the boulder with Art of the Inazuma.

~Cross the suspension bridge, and the enemies can be ignored if you don't wantto fight more.

~Use the Dragon Statue to heal and save, because the boss is waiting insidethe hall.

~BOSS BATTLEAt the beginning, shoot the boss with your ranged weapon. His move can bedodged easily with roll, make sure you catch the right timing as his raiseshis arms. Once the boss gets enough of damage, he'll fall and it's the besttime to deal more damage to him. Don't bother with charging Ultimate Techniquesince normal attacks are good enough for that. And Art of the Inazuma isstrongly recommended for this fight.

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

CHAPTER 6 - "Mortal Enemy"

The Fiends, brought back to

life in the Empire of Vigoor.Was this foul deed the workof the Dark Dragonstones?

Ryu hears a familiar voice,one that he may never forget...

#= Hayabusa Village


10/24

~Start by the speaking with Muramasa in the village. And a new Ninpo namelyThe Art of the Hurricane is now available, but I still recommend buy theJewel of the Spirit Smith ahead if your gold is not that much. And if youhave not purchased the scroll for the Flying Swallow combo yet, make sure youbuy it as well.

~Once you've done, head North to the Stone Circle Cove through the shinningstone circle.


~A new circle appears, use it to warp to your next destination.

#= Underground Coliseum

~Run up the path until the Dragon Statue.

~Take the left path. The next area branches to three ways, and one ofthem is locked. Just continue to the left until the last room, kill all theenemies in the last room to unlock the room in the three ways section.

~Now back to the three ways section, head to the top room should see a blue

torch inside. Die out the torch by blowing the microphone.

~Then, head to the bottom room (Hexagon) which contains lost of enemies. Killall enemies to spawn the Sea Swallow, shoot it down for the Wood Amulet 37.

~Now take the right path from the Dragon Statue, blow out the blue torch inthe last room as how you did before. The door in the Dragon Statue room shouldbe opened now.

~Make your way to the next Dragon Statue. Go to the right end area and blowthe fan to unlock the gate of the next room, ignore all the enemies sincethe gate will close again.

~BOSS BATTLEAlways remember rub the screen whenever you get caught before the boss hurtyou more. Flying Swallow is quite useful and easy confuses the boss direction,try use it as your primary attack for this fight. And don't forget your Ninpoas well. Personally, I used Art of the Hurricane and it does alot of damagefor this boss.

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

CHAPTER 7 - "Cavern of Flame"wt03

The Greater Fiend Doku,he who attacked the village

and took the life of Kureha.

The fearsome power ofthe Dark Dragonstonesreinvigorated another ofRyu's adversaries.

Yet the stones continue topulse and resonate. AnotherFiend of immense evil lies


11/24

in wait...

#= Hayabusa Village

~After the event with Muramasa, go to the Stone Circle Cove.


~Enter the new circle warp.

#= Cavern of Flame

~Follow the one path here and roll pass the lava on the way.

~Head left from the Dragon Statue, shoot down the circle when they turn blue.Be slow, because if you shot the red light, you will have to defeat alot ofenemies.

~Afterwards, take the new path that's unlocked. Just one screen to the rightfrom the middle Dragon Statue will face some enemies, they not necessory tofight, however if you beat all of them, you can hear the Sea Swallow which

would give you the Wood Amulet 44.

~Next area, kill all the enemies in the sealed area before you can continue.Try use more flying attack/swallows since the enemies are quite aggressive,also becareful the fire spot which can probably bother your fight.

~Use the Dragon Statue in the next area.

~Jump up to the top floor and you will find another Dragon Statue. The bossis waiting in the next room.

~BOSS BATTLEIt's not as stronge as its look, just expect its attacks are quite fast

especially the bite move. The easiest way to dodge make sure your positionis not in the front of the boss, so keep on running or roll to the sidebefore you do any attacks. The great chance to attack is right after youdodge its bite attack, and remember to rub the screen if you're bitten.Once you've given the boss enough of damage, it will be stunned for amoment, allows you to hit it more.

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

CHAPTER 8 - "Cavern of Ice"

The Dragonstones continueto resonate.

Sometimes they lead Ryu toa forgotten monastery --other times they lead to theflames of the abyss.

Ryu treads a dark and terriblepath. Yet the Dragonstonesrelentlessly guide him to anunknown fate...


12/24

#= Hayabusa Village

~Likewise, enter the Stone Circle Cove through the warp point at North.


~The new circle appears at top right. Take it to the Cavern of Ice.

#= Cavern of Ice

~Jump to upper area. Move to the right path from the junction since theother path is blocking by the fire.

~After some fights, jump into the hole at the right area.

~Destroy the ice block to obtain the Art of the Ice Storm. Move right to theDragon Statue room, and here you can find the Wood Amulet 10.

~Go back to where you came, dodge the falling ices on the way.

~Use the Art of the Ice Storm Ninpo to unseal the fire to the way leads to top.

~Have some more fights on the way to the top of the map.

~Use the Dragon Statue to heal and save before you jump into the hole atthe top of the map.

~BOSS BATTLEAn Ice Dragon, similar like the boss you fought in the previous chapter, andthis is even easier. Once the boss appears from the river, shoot it with yourbow 3 or 4 time, then you should pay attention on its possible attacks, butsometimes it'll just back into the river again. Thing to remember is whenthe boss move backward, that means something is falling from your top,

needless to say, you should dodge it by running around. And the other thingis the ice ball normally would come three in a row, so it's better dodge allits ice balls before continue your shots.

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

CHAPTER 9 - "Isle of Destiny"

An infamous Greater Fiendappears before the increasinglyimpatient Obaba, head of theBlack Spider Clan.

The Fiends, and theBlack Spider Clan.Their true motives remainshrouded in mystery...

#= Hayabusa Village

~Upgrade your Dragon Sword to max level if possible. Also you will obtain theExplosive Arrows before you go.


13/24

~Go to the Stone Circle Cove.


~Take the new stone circle warp to the next destination.

#= Sea of Trees

~Just a long and straight road to the North. Try to ignore the enemies sincesome hidden archers that you couldn't kill are bothering.

~Further area, spend a little spare time to avoid the worthless damage fromthe falling boulders.

#= Isle of Destiny

~Begin this location at the beach area, and you will face a new enemy, piranha?This kind of enemies are VERY annoying, try kill them with Flying Swallow sincethis move attack larger area. Don't use too many combo on these enemies, if youmiss-hit one of them in your combo, you'll probably get bite alot.

~When you reach to the last area of the beach part (bottom left of the map),make sure you kill all the piranhas to trigger the Sea Swallow for theWood Amulet 19.

~Next up, before you can enter the building, you have to fight with someenemies in the sealed area. Some of those enemies can damage Ryu by grab andthrow him and this move cannot be blocked. Be sure use more Flying Swallowfor this battle to avoid this move.

~Follow the path up to inner area of the building.

~Another worst part is the bridge after the Dragon Statue. You could fall over

the bridge during the fight, and you need to start over again if you did that.One easier way is may youself stay at one of the ends on the bridge and keepshooting your foes with the Explosive Arrows.

~Reach to the top right area of the map, burn down the spider web with anyfire type Ninpo, and then save the game on the Dragon Statue. Enter the roomto challenge the next boss.

~BOSS BATTLESuprisingly easy boss. Most of her moves mainly attack her front direction,means you can simply evade them by running or roll to the side. Her mostpowerful skill is her crow attack, she will send three crows in a row to hityou, just make sure you roll at the right timing as you see the crows dashing

onward to Ryu. If you're in a distance, don't bother with getting closer andslash the boss, just keep shooting with your Explosive Arrows, and don't forgetyour Ninpo can make this easy (recommend Art of the Hurricane).

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

CHAPTER 10 = "The Ends of Hell"wt04

There are only two DarkDragonstones remaining for


14/24

Ryu to find.

He steps into the strangeworld before him, believingit to be the only way leadingto Momiji...

#= Isle of Destiny

~Obtain the Art of the Piercing Viod at the beginning, then take the warppoint in the middle to next location.

#= The Piramid

~Use the Dragon Statue to save.

~Once you step into the next area, you will be sealed and need to kill allfoes that appear here. Afterwards, trigger the Sea Swallow and hit it forWood Amulet 34.

~Enter the Piramid. Blow all four fans after the first staircase to openthe wall. Get pass the second staircase and then jump up quickly because

there are some spikes on the ground.

~Next up, you will reach to the room with three blue flames stoves. Blow offall three blue flames on the stoves and then use the Art of Inferno to lightup all three stoves.

~Reach to the upper room, shoot down six circles when they turn blue, thenthe path leads to left would be unlocked. Use the Dragon Statue in the passage.

~Last room, use the Art of the Piercing Viod power on the basin. You will facesome enemies before the boss appear.

~BOSS BATTLE

Forget about any moves you have, keep using Flying Swallow (jump and slidehorizonal) or Cicada (jump and slide vertical) as you main attack, becausethis boss' moves are fast and powerful, however you can dodge all those movesby jumping and slashing. Sometimes if you get your Flying Swallow blocked,perform a Cicada before you land on the ground. Also the boss could be stunnedwhen you chain him enough, perhaps you could perform an Ultimate Techniqueat this moment.

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

CHAPTER 11 - "Underworld Gate"

One Dragonstone remains

Guided by DarkDragonstones, at longlast Ryu finds himselfin front of Momiji...

#= Hayabusa Village/Stone Circle Cove

~Try buy all the remaining items as you can. Go Stone Circle Cove and take


15/24

the new shiny circle.

#= Underworld Gate

~Since the road is small, you can try Explosive Arrows for the common enemies.

~Continue you way until the cliff, jump up as soon as you reach otherwisethe piranhas stay a chance to bite you.

~Battle with a mini boss at upper area. His moves are quite powerful but veryeasy to be dodged.

~Go until to right area of the map, use the Dragon Statue before the boss.

~BOSS BATTLENormally female bosses in the action game are tougher than most other bosses,this is another proof. The easiest way to attack this boss without takingheavy damage is right after she uses the ray attack. The best tactic isroll circling the boss, and don't stay too far from her otherwise she woulduse the dash kick. By doing so, the boss will trying to face the directionon Ryu, sometimes you may perform a slash when you roll to her back. Onceshe does the ray attack, you are probably at her side, now slash her 3 or 4times from the side, don't slash too much or you would be countered!! Keep

rolling circling her until she perform the next ray attack. Do remember useNinpo to deal better damage so you can end this fight earlier.

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

CHAPTER 12 - "Abyssal Underworld"

Kureha and MomijiThe Eye of the Dragon.

Ryu is infused with the ancestralpowers of the Dragons by thesetwo shrine-maidens.

Now he descends into the abyssof the Fiend Realm in searchof his true enemy.His struggle nears its end...

#= Underworld Gate

~Move into the light to next section.

#= Abyssal Underworld

~Blow the sleeping Muramasa to buy something. Run down to path after theDragon Statue.

~In the first corner, defeat some big blade foes to unseal the path.You may hear the Sea Swallow after defeating the enemies, trigger it andhit it for the Wood Amulet 39.

~Continue down the path will encounter some piranhas, so beware.


16/24

~Later on, a new enemy appears in the next seal. Recommend attack this enemywith Flying Swallow.

~In the South or bottom left part of the map where you fight only theflying enemies, you can find another Sea Swallow. Blow the micophone andhit it for Wood Amulet 32. In case if it didn't voice up, exit and re-enterthe area.

~Use the Dragon Status before the last area.

~BOSS BATTLELooks like this boss is just a minor role. This is a ranged battle. simplyshoot it with Explosive Arrows continuously until it sends you the skulls,roll left and right to evade as the skulls come closer. Other than this,it would jump toward your area and bite, just do like how you evade itsskulls, rub the screen if you get caught. Basically we won't have muchtrouble on this fight since this boss' moves are too weak. The most powerfulNinpo is Art of the Ice Storm, but make sure you shoot its head.

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

CHAPTER 13 - "Edge of Darkness"

Following the ultimate form

of the Dark Dragonstones,Ryu falls deeper into the abyss.

His final battle awaits.

#= Edge of Darkness

~BOSS BATTLEUse Flying Swallow when the boss is flying, just do one hit if the distanceis too far because you only need to get closer. Try the Flying Swallow combowhen she's near. Once you hit her right spot she would fall, giving you achance to slashing more. Once she's up, comtinue chasing her with the same

tactic, keep her busy and this could reduce her chance of performing theyellow lighty move, which is hard to dodge.

~FINAL BOSSA big dragon always flying, shoot it with Explosive Arrow from the far aspossible (further until you can clearly see its head), this could avoid himfrom using the stomp attack. TO evade the breath from the boss, you can judgeby hearing the voice or the charging light from its mouth, hold any button toget it ready, once the voice is stop or the light disappears, quickly tap thescreen to roll.

When the boss has fallen, you have to be prepared to dodge as well, butneedless to say, you should take this chance to slash it as much as possible.

What would the boss do are:1. If attack from its left/middle, the boss will shoot out the laser.

Reverse Wind/roll to left is easier!2. If attack from its right or left, the boss will counter you with its

big arm. Perform a Reverse Wind/roll as you see it raises its arm!

The last thing must know is during the final attack. What is going tohappen if you just move forward and do your final slash? You will die.The boss is actually prepared an instant death attack for you when you


17/24

try to kill it. So, run close to the boss and be ready to dodge its deathattack, and once you see its head starts moving, immediately perform aReverse Wind (roll). After that only give it the final slash.

That's all, now you've beaten the game, hope you enjoy the endingand new difficulty level.

Basically all the Wood Amulet in the story are already listed in thewalkthrough, you can press CTRL F and find it.

Wood Amulets are used to unlock the "Prize" (beat the game once to unlock)section under the main menu. The more you find the mode items will be unlockedunder this section.

There are 16 Wood Amulets in the story, 7 from the Netherworld Challenge oneach difficulty level (there's 4 difficulty levels, that's mean 7 x 4 = 28).All together are 16 + 28 = 44 Wood Amulets in the game, and the No. 45 willbe unlocked automatically when you got all 44 in the game.

What is Netherworld Challenge? Remember the Stone Circle Cove? After beatinga stage during the story, the circle of that stage will become yellow lightinstead of dark red. Now enter the yellow light circle, you will warp to asmall area named Netherworld. And there's lot of enemies/fiends are waiting,only way to get out is kill everything in the Netherworld. Then, before youleave, the Wood Amulet appears as a reward for you.

Check "6. WOOD AMULETS" section orthe link below to find out all Wood Amulets.

~Happy Birthday soundPlay the game on your birthday (depends on your NDS setting), you will geta special "Happy Birthday" sound effect when you start the game! Instead ofthe usual sound effect when you tap the start screen.(credit: amityville27)

~Shoot for Blue EssenceIn the Forest of Shadows, some Concentric Circles are around the Dragon Statue.Shoot the Concentric Circle to spawn the Blue Essence. But this is quiteuseless since the Dragon Statue is here.

---------->----------

~Quick Ultimate TechniqueThe speed of the Ultimate Technique charge time is actually based on thequantity of Essences around. The more Essences are spawned (before you absorb),the shorter Ultimate Technique charge time will be. You can charge a max levelUltimate Technique instantly as long as the floating Essences are enough.

~Keep The Essence FloatingAs mention above, floating Essences shorten your Ultimate Techniquecharge time. Because the Essences will be obtained when your characterhas no action (attack), so other than keep slashing the enemies, press anybutton to guard or perform Reverse Wind are another ways to hold the Essences

in the air.

~"Paint" a NinpoActually it's not necessory to follow the Ninpo letter as it shows on thescreen, you can slide over the letter until the letter is fully filled withcolour. And... the Ninpon is done.

~Fake Ninpo ProtectionTap the Ninpo symbol at top left corner to perform a Ninpo, and your characterwill become invincible while charging up the Ninpo. Tap return symbol at bottomright to cancel it so you don't waste your Ninpo. This is quite useful when you

couldn't dodge certain attacks from the enemy at the right moment.
