| Yellow Essence Exploit (Chapter One) | 100% | |
| Location: The following yellow essence exploit can be completed on the game’s very 1st chapter, and is especially useful when playing on Master Ninja difficulty. How to: Before and after crossing the bridge, you will deal with enemy ninjas (it’s the bridge where the 1st God of Life and a treasure chest can be found). After you cross the bridge, defeating ninjas as you go, head towards the middle alley that brings out 2 more ninjas on foot and another 2 ninja archers. Run back and charge up to Ultimate Level 2. Continue to run back and forth, and the ninjas will keep respawning and coming at you. If you have the skill, getting away with $40,000 while having 50%-75% of your health still available to you is a possibility. Another technique from davidlaughs. There’s a walkway below an area where you have to swing across a pipe. You’ll run into 2 more, and then reach a save point. This is where the exploit can be found. Drop down below the save point and a group of five bad guys will attack. Kill all of them, climb up the ladder and head to the 1st pipe. There, drop down and you will be confronted with another wave of enemies. Repeat this process over and over again for as much essence as you want. | ||

| Tips and tricks on what to do on NGII | 100% | |
| If your having trouble on the first chapter I will help out: chapter 1: sky city tokyo A group of Black Spider Ninjas stand outside Muramasa's house. If you want to kill them quickly, perform repeated Flying Swallows and Obliteration techniques. Otherwise, use them as practice -- block and counterattack, slash and combo. Before running into Muramasa's house through the crack on the door, head around the house, towards the left, until you spot the Statue of the Earth Dragon, a save point that not only saves progress but refills health. Press the RB button to save your game. Statue of the Earth Dragon: Enemies must not be around when using the Statue of the Earth Dragon. Get rid of the enemy before using the statue otherwise, the Statue won't work! Stairs The cut-scene ended, you must head through the gate in the distance, and then descend the stairs where Black Spider Ninjas will try to ambush you. Perform Flying Swallows or Obliteration Techniques while using the walls to your advantage. (Run across the walls to create space between you and the ninjas.) Look for a chest containing the Reverse Wind Technique by the door at the bottom of the stairs. Chest: Reverse Wind Technique LT + L to perform a quick dash in the direction indicated by the Left Stick. Used to dodge enemy attacks or to get close. Achievement Mastered Wind 5G: Stay in guard while moving the left analog stick towards the left or right direction. You'll dodge to the sides and unlock the Achievement. Hallway After kicking down the big wooden doors, prepare for danger in the narrow hallway, as Black Spider Ninjas will immediately rush towards you. Kill them quickly before entering the room down the hall, where in the middle of the room is a cluster of Blue Essence in a chest. Chest: Blue Essence Blue Essence heals you, and is found in chests or dropped by the enemy. The Wall Run (Technique of Shadowless Footsteps): The room leads to a narrow hallway filled with ninjas, and a hole on the ground near the end of the hallway. The gap is too large to jump over, so what should you do? Use the Technique of Shadowless Footsteps to run across the wall. Run towards the wall at an angle before jumping on it. By holding the left analog stick in the forward direction, Ryu will run across the wall for a limited time. Down into the gap Don't panic if you drop into the gap. Search the ground for a chest containing the Technique of Shadowless Footsteps. Carefully read the instructions explained on the scroll, then apply the techniques on the two walls located closely together. Jump from wall to wall in order to propel your body to the top. The Technique of Shadowless Footsteps Jump with the A button towards a wall, then hold the L analog stick forward to run along the wall. You can unlock the Mastered Shadowless Footsteps Achievement by jumping from wall to wall towards the top of the platform. Across the gap The room after the gap contains the scroll the Furious Wind Technique in a chest, and the Art of the Inferno, a Ninpo specializing in fire attacks, in a chest by the shrine. Grab the Art of Inferno before moving onto the wooden balcony, where you'll see a secret surprise. Chest: The Furious Wind Technique Location: In the small alcove past the gap on the floor. Press LT + L while blocking an enemy attack to quickly dash away. When your defense has been broken, use it to swiftly avoid further damage. Chest: The Art of the Inferno (Ninpo) Location: In the room past the gap on the floor. The Inferno's blaze reduces your enemies to ashes. (Press Y + B buttons to activate the Ninpo. You must have Ki to use Ninpo. Standing on the wooden balcony, look in the background for a glowing white object. A Crystal Skull sits on the roof in the background. Stand on the edge of the wooden deck and look for small wooden roof on the far right of the Crystal Skull -- that's your target, and where you must land. Should you fall when attempting the jump, get back to the balcony by climbing the ladder near the wooden railing. Crystal Skull Location: On a roof. A legendary out-out-place artifact known since the ancient times. Situational: If you fall off the balcony when running across the wall for the Crystal Skull. You could also run towards the skull when you first see it then at the edge of the balcony jump and press Y to perform the Flying Swallow move and that will get you behind the Crystal Skull. Don't feel bad if you don't get the Crystal Skull on your first try. In fact, falling to the bottom floor can bring great fortune. By going up two sets of stairs from the bottom floor, you'll find the Lives of a Thousand Gods, an item increasing overall health, in a chest by the foot of a shrine. Up a set of stairs and by the door is a chest with the Herb of Spiritual Life, an item restoring a small amount of health. Going through the door, you'll be in a narrow room and see a pole over a large gap. Narrow room More Black Spider Clan Ninjas will attack you in the narrow room. They're not too hard, and will easily die by a combination of Flying Swallows, decapitations, and counters. Kill them before running across the wall to get to the other side. If you fall during the wall run, look for a ladder against the wall and use it to climb back to the floor. Gymnastics 101: The gap in the floor is too long to jump, but wait, there's a pole jutting from the wall. Jump towards the pole and Ryu automatically grabs the pole, swinging in a loop until you decide to jump off. And don't worry about looking for treasure if you fall off the pole you won't find anything on the bottom floor. When you've crossed the gap, look for the corpse on the ground holding the scroll of the Obliteration Technique. Next, run on the scaffolding and past the big barrels until you see a corpse next to the Statue of the Earth Dragon. Scroll: The Obliteration Technique Location: Found immediately after swinging on the pole. Press Y button near an enemy that has lost an arm or leg to finish them off. Unlock Master of Obliteration Achievement. Scroll: The Flying Bird Technique. Location: On the corpse by the Statue of the Earth Dragon. Jump at a wall and press the A button repeatedly to scale two opposing walls. Allows you to reach higher ground without using a ladder. Mastered Flying Bird Flip Achievement. In a yard Save your game at the Statue of the Earth Dragon before performing the Flying Bird Flip on the wall behind the statue. By scaling the wall, you'll be under a cherry blossom tree in a yard above ground. Be prepared for the archers shooting flaming arrows on the second floor. When you feel as though all the enemies are killed, jump down into the water way and go right into the open area where you will be attacked. kill these guys and then walk round the corner to the wooden platform, there will be a chest with a 'Life of the Gods' inside. After opening the chest head back to where you just came from but this time continue to the far left side on the waterway to get another chest filled with yellow essence. Cross the stone bridge and carefully walk across the cobbled road, where more ninjas will appear. Go down the set of stairs that are at the other end of the road you are on. a flame archer and a few ninjas attack you. finish them off however you please. now here is the tricky part. There is a CRYSTAL SKULL where that archer was shooting. if you look on the right side of the path there is a tree that is significantly flat and perfect for you to do a flying bird jump to get on an awning. once on the awning just move carefully to the little 'bridge' section that the archer was on. The CRYSTAL SKULL is right on the platform. On the path sloping downwards, you'll see a pagoda in the background, and archers firing flaming arrows. This area is a good place to farm yellow essence. Merely walk onto the sloping path to spawn footsoldiers, and then retreat , avoiding the archers/ rocket launchers (Path of the Mentor). Between two and four soldiers will chase you, making each fight fairly easy. On the pagoda where the archers stand there is a 'Crystal Skull' . To reach it you have to walk a little down the hill untill you see a tree on your right, there you will have to do a Flying Bird Flip off the tree to land on a ledge leading to the pagoda. continuing on you'll soon encounter a set of wooden stairs and platforms, and a pole over a gap. Jump towards the pole and swing yourself over to the other side. The next obstacle involves two swinging poles, but before you swing across the gap, head down into the gap to find a Life of the Gods in the chest by the end of the room. To get back on higher ground, head in the opposite direction of the chest, past the guys in the hallway, until you see a ladder at the end of the room. Chest: Life of the Gods Location: On the bottom floor under two the swinging poles. Chest: Blue Essence A chest filled with blue Essence is by the ladder. After maneuvering past the two poles over a gap, climb the ladder and turn right for an Herb of Spiritual Life. And don't forget to save your progress at the Statue of the Earth Dragon at the top of the stairs on the floor below the Herb of Spiritual Life. Just past the Herb of Spiritual Life is a corpse holding the scroll of the Flying Swallow Technique. Scroll: The Flying Swallow Technique Location: Examine the corpse found after the Herb of Spiritual Life. Jump forward and press the Y button to attack enemies from above. Must have Dragon Sword equipped. Mastered Flying Swallow technique Achievement. On a balcony overlooking the Tokyo skyline A battle takes place on a balcony outside the room containing the Lunar Staff, a long two-handed weapon harnessing the power of the moon. Before receiving the Lunar Staff, you must battle a group of Black Spider Clan Ninjas and flame ninjas, and when they're defeated, the large wooden doors will open. Make sure to kill the ninjas firing flaming projectiles before killing the supporting ninjas. The ninjas firing projectiles will teleport around the area, but you can track them by using the Flying Swallows. Be careful not to abuse the Flying Swallow, because a mistimed, poorly executed Flying Swallow will leave you vulnerable to enemy attacks. The doors will open after all the ninjas are defeated, revealing a large shrine in the middle of the room, flanked by a chest containing red Essence and the Statue of the Earth Dragon. When you've removed the Lunar Staff from the statue, exit the room and head around the building, where you'll see a set of stairs under an opened gate. The Ultimate Technique scroll is found on the corpse at the bottom of the stairs. Weapon: Lunar Staff Location: From the statue. A staff said to harbor the mysterious powers of the moon. Scroll: The Ultimate Technique Location: Past the room with the Lunar Staff, on a corpse at the bottom of the stairs. Hold Y button to charge, then release. The longer you charge, the more powerful your attack. Master Ultimate Technique Achievement. The bridge and the house The notebook of Obliteration Technique is found after the bridge on a corpse lying in a yard. Just beyond the corpse in a house with an opened door. While entering the house, immediately look down at the corpse on the ground under the door, his arm clutching the scroll the Technique of Ultimate Guidance. Notebook: Obliteration Technique by Zenimaru Location: On a corpse at the end of a bridge. Scroll: The Technique of Ultimate Guidance Location: On the corpse lying by the door. When there is Essence nearby, hold the Y button to absorb and charge your Ultimate Technique. Your Ultimate Technique will charge faster, and any enemies hit with the attack will drop more Essence than usual. Inside the house The house has an entrance and exit, and a secret room covered behind a panel containing Grains of Spiritual Life in a chest and yellow essence in three big jars on the ground. The secret room is on the opposite side of the exit, behind a small panel that can be destroyed. Grab the Grains and the Yellow Essence before heading into the yard filled with enemies. Secret Room Location: Starting from the corpse in the doorway, turn right and slash the panel to uncover a secret room. Grains of Spiritual Life in a chest, which restores a moderate amount of health. Backyard Kill the ninjas in the backyard before entering the second house. Inside the house, pick up the Yellow Essence in the chest, then slash the wall panels to uncover a narrow hallway leading to another yard, where you'll see Muramasa's Shop under the trees by a large boulder. By now, you should have enough Yellow Essence to upgrade the Dragon Sword. Why upgrade? Upgrading increases the power of the weapon, so the more upgrades, the more powerful the weapon is. The water well When you're done shopping at Muramasa's shop, look for the hidden well near the boulder on the right of the shop. By jumping into the well, you'll fall through a long shaft populated by bats. Don't ignore the bats but kill them for their Yellow and Blue Essence. Afterwards, exit the well by going through the door, and look for a corpse holding the notebook of Shadowless Footsteps on the scaffold several feet away from the well. Now, make your way to the top of the scaffolds. Notebook: Shadowless Footsteps by Hikage-o Location: Outside the exit of the water well. Chest: Devil Way Mushroom Location: Down the ramp and by the iron rods. Restores a small amount of Ki. The suspended wall Chest: Blue Essence The scaffolds beyond the water well will take you to a wall swaying in the air -- a natural environment obstacle testing your ninja mobility. Run across the wall using the Technique of Shadowless footsteps, and proceed to the end of the scaffold for Blue Essence in a chest. Along the way to the Blue Essence in a chest, you may have noticed a section of the guard rail is missing, disconnected, mangled, stray bars jutting in every direction. The location is hard to see, especially since the camera is behind your shoulder, obscuring that vital location. To proceed farther into the level, you must jump off from the disconnected guard rail. Fall of the scaffold, then battle the enemies down below. And, oh, look for the corpse on the ground holding the notebook Furious Wind. Notebook: Furious Wind by Hayate-maru Location: After jumping off the disconnected section of the guard rail. On a corpse on the ground. Skyscraper Key Points Find the cracked Card Key and use it to unlock the door. Get to the Elevator Control Room. In the skyscraper, you must find the cracked Cark Key to unlock the Elevator Control Room. To find the Card Key, go up three sets of stairs to the top of the stairwell, where a chest contains the crack Card Key. (At the bottom of the stairwell is a dead end room with a Devil Way Mushroom in a chest.) Elevator Control Room Return to the elevator lobby, and head towards the right into the hallway. Ahead of you will be a large window overlooking the city skyline, and on your left will be the Elevator Control Room, where you'll see a damaged elevator control, and a corpse holding the notebook Flying Bird by the foot of the ladder. After climbing the ladder, go down the hallway, and when you reach the end of the hallway, perform the Flying Bird Flip to go up shaft towards the top of the room. The elevator control room. Notebook: Flying Bird by Mogura Location: On the corpse by the ladder in the Elevator Control Room. At the top of the shaft are ninjas, Muramasa's Shop, the Grains of Spiritual Life, and the Statue of the Earth Dragon. Remember, you can't use the Statue of the Earth Dragon if there are enemies in the room, so kill them all to save your progress and to replenish your life. The ninjas in the room are aggressive and will attack relentlessly. If you're feeling overwhelmed, do you best to counter their attacks, perform constant Flying Swallows, and instant charges into Ultimate Techniques. And make sure to target the Flame Ninjas before attacking the ancillary ninjas. After that, save your game at the Statue of the Earth Dragon before heading up the stairs, where you'll fight the first boss, Shadow Ninja Rossetsoul. The Shadow Ninja. Boss: Shadow Ninja Boss attacks Throw: A sudden lunge taking you close to the boss' jaws. Look for both arms extending horizontally. Can't be blocked. You must have quick reflexes to react and dodge the throw. Throw: A quick lunge ending in bear hug. Can't be blocked. This throw is much harder to spot, since the boss telegraphs the attack for a brief second. The best strategy is to stay mobile, dashing to the sides whenever you get in a few slashes on its body. Jumps: Jumps on you, of course. The boss will place all four feet on the ground before jumping towards your location. To dodge the attack, perform repeated dashes until the boss stop jumping. Alternatively, you could wait until the last second to dash away from the attack, but this strategy is risky. Wind Blades: You must dodge the Wind Blades. Fortunately for you, the boss hardly performs the Wind Blades. Cartwheel attack: The boss executes a slow moving cartwheel across the ground. Since it's slow, you can easily spot it and react with a block. Plus, upon blocking, you may execute a counterattack. Roar: The bad news: the boss regains energy if left uninterrupted. The good news: while in the roaring animation, the boss won't attack or move for a short time -- the perfect opportunity to attack it with a light slash combo. Boss strategy Boss strategy Blocking and attacking with light slashes (X button) are the two main strategies in the fight against the Shadow Ninja. You must block the boss' attacks while waiting for the right moment to strike otherwise, the boss will block most of your attacks, placing you in a very vulnerable position. To avoid the bear hug, stay mobile, dashing to the sides whenever you get in a few slashes on its body. Guard and move: Stand in guard and wait for the boss to come to you. Block the attacks, then counterattack or combo with light strikes, followed by an immediate jump or dash to the sides in order to place a safe distance between you and the boss. When you should strike Attack after the boss whiffs its attacks in a lengthy combo string. After blocking the cartwheel attack, perform a counterattack or use repeated light slashes (X, X, X, X button). Attack during the boss "roar" animation, in which the boss stands on its two legs, its arm stretched in the air, replenishing its health if left uninterrupted. Attack and runaway: When slashing at the boss, you may have noticed the boss will try to counterattack during your combo, and often times, knock you out of your combo. Don't get too caught up in the slashing frenzy be prepared to stop the attack, and to dodge or jump away from the boss. Remember, you can cancel the lag after a light slash by dodging to the sides or by throwing a Shuriken. When its life is low, the boss slumps to the floor on its knees, vulnerable for a short time. Take advantage of the situation and slash the boss! Beating the boss unlocks the Achievement Finished Chapter 01 for 10G. Alternative tactics The fastest, safest and most stylish way to defeat this boss: Quick dash out of its way when it attacks you, gain some distance, and charge your level 2 Ultimate Technique, and unleash as he is walking towards you. Once Ryu finishes the preset moves, quickly dash away and start again. SO EASY! He should be down in 30 to 60 seconds. Do NOT come close to him otherwise! heres the tips and tricks on this game...

| Yellow Essence Exploit | 98% | |
| Location: Chapter Two Description: Here is a way to farm Yellow Essence during chapter two. How to: After ridding the bridge you encounter of all of the archers and acquiring the Crystal Skull there, you will have to continue down another wooden path. This leads to a pair of chasms that you swing over to get to the save point. Below that is a lower walkway full of enemies. Kill them all, and then climb a nearby ladder to reach the upper area again. When you go back down, the enemies will have respawned. You can kill them again to grab their Yellow Essence, climb back up, jump back down, repeating this to get all the Yellow Essence you want. | ||

| In the game’s 3rd chapter, you will be on the streets of New York. Near the beginning, you drop down into a sewer and fight. When you reemerge back on the streets from your brief sewer battle, an alley with a treasure chest at the end of it can be found.

| Infinite Yellow Essence | 50% | |
| In Chapter Two, there is a certain roofop that will infinitly spawn three enemies. A magician and two claw ninjas. Towards the end of the level, where you are climbing up the burning biuldings, there is one particular roof that has a hole in it that you drop down in, which contains a save point. If you defeat the enemies, and then get off the roof (do not drop in the hole) and then return, the enemies will respawn forever. I found it fastest to go to the edge that was furthest away from the hole, have Ryu drop down and hang, and then jump up. I did this for over an hour, and get my Dragon Sword and Falcon's Tallons to level 3, and my Lunar Staff to level 2. At best, you will only get 400 Yellow Essence. It's not the fastest exploit, but a level three Dragon Sword really helps early on in the game. | ||
