Mission.003
- Before starting the mission, we upgraded the Twin Falcon Knives and the Flame Shuriken.
- This mission starts with Ken on another mounted turret. Use the machine gun to start blasting the creature in front of you. Make sure to hit the projectiles it throws in your direction.
- Some flying enemies will appear. Shoot them, but sweep your gun across the main enemy to continue destroying projectiles.
- When the vehicle stops, press RB to switch to missiles, then blast everything in front of you. Switch back to the machine gun when your vehicle starts moving again.
- Shoot the car with two enemies on it, then immediately reload.
- Fire at the flying creatures, then fire at the truck. Switch back to missiles as you turn forward.
- Blast the truck that appears to your side, then use the machine gun to defeat the flying creatures.
- Another truck will soon appear. Use the same strategy here.
- After this wave, armored flying creatures will appear. Use missiles to defeat them.
- You'll see a cutscene with a Quick Time Event. When prompted, tap X repeatedly to attack, then follow the button prompts on screen. This is an optional challenge; if you fail, play will still resume with Ken in pursuit.
- Fend off more armored flying creatures with your missiles, then press Left and A to survive the next Quick Time Event.
- You'll now face off against a Parasite Train. Start lobbing missiles at it. When the flying creatures appear, switch to machine guns to defeat them, then go back to missiles.
- After a while, you'll face a brief Quick Time Event. Press Y' to escape the train.
- You'll go crashingi through a building. There's not much you can do here, but try to shoot down the enemies you see with your machine gun.
- Once outside again, shoot the flying creatures ahead with your machine gun.
- When you get to the tunnel, switch to missiles. Start blasting the creature ahead. At the next Quick Time Event, press Up to dodge.
- You now have to fight Carrion Claw on foot. Start moving forward, towards the bus on the right side of the screen.
- Try to avoid the balls of electricity coming towards you. If you get hit, wiggle the left thumbstick quickly to get free.
- When you see the timer on top of the screen, stand halfway between the center and either side of the tunnel. Lasers will appear either in the center or the sides. If they're at the sides, be ready to jump over them as they move towards the middle of the tunnel.
- Aim your Flame Shuriken at Carrion Claw by holding and releasing B. Repeat this cycle until its energy is depleted.
- Approach the creature and press A to begin the Todome.
- The sequence here is X, Right, B, Down, Up, A, A, Right, X, A, A and Y.
- After this, you'll learn a new Ninjutsu. Press B when prompted to use it, then X shortly after. When Ken climbs up onto a building, press B when prompted to finish the Quick Time Event.
- SHINOBI MOJI: A pile of barrels are located to your left. Break them open to get the Shinobi Moji for this level.
- Now, use your regular blade to kill the enemies on this platform.
- Drop down to the lower platform and give the Lightning Shuriken a try. Press RB to select it, then hold B as soon as the far enemies' shots go by. Run your target past them and you'll see white lines coming down. Let go of B to stun them. Now, you can wallrun across and use your sword.
- To defeat the next group, stun them with Lightning Shuriken, then use the opportunity to line up a Flame Shuriken shot to kill them all.
- Swing to the next building using the poles, but first, check to your right for a First Aid Spray in the crates.
- Kill the enemies at the next platform with your sword. Climb onto the roof and use the pole to reach the next building.
- Go to your right and open the barrels for some health.
- You can stun the enemies ahead by arming Lightning Shuriken and tapping B while facing the water. This spreads the charge to them, stunning them. Doing so gets you the "Lightning Strikes Twice" Achievement.
- The best way to kill these enemies is to reflect their projectiles back at them. Use a timed attack with the sword.
- Now, use the Stonerender to break down the wall on your left. To your left when you go through the wall is an Adrenaline Boost.
- HEALTH PIECE: Follow the path and go through the passageway on the right. To your right here, up against the metal bars, are some barrels containing the Health Piece.
- EMBLEM: Keep going past the area with the metal bars. To the right when you pass the wall, there are a couple of crates with the "Twin Falcon Knives" emblem.
- Grapple to the building ahead and switch to your blade. Kill the Carriers first, then switch to the twin knives to fight the swarm of bats.
- When all enemies are defeated, toss a Flame Shuriken at the wall ahead, then break the wall down with the Stonerender.
- Some high pressure valves hinder the path ahead. Time your wall run to avoid them; there's a long blast, followed by a short blast, then a long blast, then a pause during which you can climb.
- Before using the pole on the roof to get into the next building, aim a Cyclone Shuriken to douse the flames. Then, proceed.
- Kill the two enemies as you move around the corner. Douse the next set of flames and continue along the path.
- The next pair of enemies is also easily defeated with the blade. After killing them, use the Flame Shuriken to destroy the plants blocking the wallrun ahead.
- This is a tricky one. Start on the right side, then jump to the left wall, then jump back to the right to land safely.
- You now have to fight a group of invisible birds. It sounds intimidating, but they're not that tough. Use Ninja Vision to spot them, and Cylone Shuriken to knock them out of the sky. Follow up with sword attacks.
- Give priority to the Carriers when they appear, then keep fighting the birds.
- Break the wall, then grapple to the next building.
- CHI PIECE: Wallrun to the next building. Drop down on the right side of the small platform and break the barrels for this piece.
- This area is guarded by a few regular carriers and a few with stun guns. Hide against the small structure ahead and use the Stonerender to fight the regular enemies. Then, hunt down the remaining foes. They can't hurt you with their electricity, so don't worry if you get hit.
- Go to the slightly lower platform and kill the enemy hiding in the crates ahead.
- HEALTH PIECE: Break the wall on the right here. The health piece is inside the crates when you go through.
- OUTFIT: On the right side of this hidden room, there are barrels. Break them to get the "Hearts" outfit.
- Now, go back outside and drop down to the area with the buses.
- Kill the first couple of enemies with your Stonerender, then switch to the twin knives and kill the bats and remaining foes.
- There are enemies firing from behind the flames ahead. Wait until the projectiles cruise by, then aim Cyclone Shuriken at the flames.
- Stun the enemies with Lightning Shuriken, then aim a Flame Shuriken. Finish any survivors off with your sword.
- At the end of the path, there's a pole you can use to reach the Kurokawa Yakuza Bosses.
- When you see the beast kick up its front paw, it's about to dash. Get out of the way.
- Get to the side of the animal while it sprays toxic gas from its mouth. Use the Stonerender to deal some damage.
- After a bit of this, you'll enter a Quick Time Event that requires you to Endure. Be ready to tap the appropriate button five times when prompted.
- If you do this successfully, you can deal quite a bit of damage while the enemy is stunned.
- Now, the boss will jump to a far platform and spit projectiles. Stand back and jump over any that come your way.
- When the firing stops, stay away from the front center portion of your platform. When the enemy lands here, rush in and start attacking. If you get caught in its tentacles, wiggle the left thumbstick to get away.
- Keep attacking when you get a chance. Repeat the cycle as the enemy moves back and forth from the far platform.
- When the Bosses' energy is gone, approach them from the front and press A to start the Todome.
- You need only press Y to finish off this enemy. However, the battle continues against Ryoko Kurokawa.
- Keep your distance and watch out for the tentacles she launches from the ground -- you should start running when you see her pound the ground. If she's not surrounded by flames, use Lightning Shuriken, then rush in and hit her with the Stonerender. Otherwise, use Flame Shuriken.
- She'll move to the top floor. Dodge her projectiles, then immediately launch Flame Shuriken. After a couple of shots, start dashing to avoid the tentacles she quickly sends after you.
- Repeat these two strategies until her energy is depleted. Approach her and press A.
- When she lunges at you, press Up, then Y. This completes Mission 003.
