Mission.005
- Prior to starting the mission, upgrade the Stonerender Sword.
- The level begins with a fight against the Blast Mite. Stand in the corner and get ready to run.
- As soon as it starts moving towards you, jump and dash forward to the front right side of the room, then keep circling around the room until it stops rolling.
- Get out your Stonerender and hack away at the Blast Mite. You'll see its armor chipping off.
- When the enemy starts bouncing again, run away, and dash in a circle around the outside edges of the room to avoid it.
- When it stops moving, attack with the Stonerender. You'll have to dodge the rolling attack again, then you should be able to defeat it during your next round of attacks.
- During the Quick Time Event, press X, Y to attack the Blast Mite. When it rolls up and turns red, press Down, A and Down.
- You're now falling down the building. Avoid the planks by moving left and right.
- Arm your blade. As you meet each enemy in the air, press X a few times to defeat them. Try to fight as many as you can to get health boosts.
- When you reach the Quick Time Event at the bottom, press A to use your wire and A to land.
- HEALTH PIECE: Immediately to your right, there's a set of metal crates. Use the Stonerender to break them and you'll find the Health Piece on the right side.
- Arm your Cyclone Shuriken before moving forward.
- Now, head towards the other end of the room and go to the cracked wall on the right side. As soon as you see the crates shatter, tap B. This will instantly kill the invisible flying carriers that would have otherwise created a nuisance.
- Break the wall and go into the next room.
- To get across, toss a flame shuriken at the ledge across the way or knock the mini mites off the edge in that direction to reveal a grapple point.
- Quickly, use Ninja Vision to spot the giant plant and hit it with a Flame Shuriken.
- Defeat the two carriers with your Stonerender, then break the wall on the left side of the platform.
- At the next cliff wall, use Flame Shuriken to reveal a grapple point, then switch to your twin blades. Before swinging over, stun the enemies on the other side with Lightning Shuriken. Finish them off once you're safely across.
- Try to get past the pandemonium in the next room. Wait until the pools ahead aren't electrified, then run forward and grapple to the next ledge.
- Kill the enemies up here with the Stonerender, then keep moving.
- The eggs ahead have health inside. Take what you need, but don't waste much time.
- You'll see a big shadow on the ground in the middle of the next room. This is the first Blast Mite. Hit it with the Stonerender to make it appear.
- Use the same strategy to kill this enemy as you did the last Blast Mite. Don't worry about the flames; just attack it until its energy is depleted.
- Press A to start the Todome, then press X, X, Y, X and Y.
- Head through the opening that the enemy created. Arm your blade along the way.
- The enemy ahead has some brutal claws. Hold LT to block his attack, then counter. If you get caught on its claw, jiggle the left thumbstick to escape.
- Go into the next hallway and arm your Thunder Shuriken. Stun the enemies on the other side of the gap, then wallrun across. Use your sword to clear out the carriers here.
- Wallrun across the next gap, jumping partway to the other side. Take out the enemies with your blade, then wallrun up to the next level.
- Defeat the two enemies here with your blade. Go around the corner and swing on the poles to the next platform.
- Before jumping down to the next level, note where the enemies are located, then stand back where they can't hit you. Arc a Flame Shuriken over the edge to kill them, then use the pole to drop down.
- CHI PIECE: On your right, there's a cracked wall. Before breaking it, arm your Cyclone Shuriken and tap B to knock the invisible flying creatures out of the sky. Kill them, then break the wall. The piece is in one of the eggs on your right.
- Wallrun from the right wall, to the left, then back to the right again. Head along the path until you drop down to the next level.
- Ahead, use Ninja Vision to spot the giant plant and kill it with Flame Shuriken.
- Now, use your Stonerender to defeat the two Mini Mites; hit each one twice, then retreat to avoid the explosion.
- HEALTH PIECE: When you're facing the side of the room that has the broken subway car on the right, look to the left corner. A stack of barrels contains the health piece.
- Go into the passageway formed by the broken train car and use your twin knives to kill the bats.
- At the end of the path, use Flame Shuriken to kill the giant plant, then grapple across.
- Go through the next rain car and torch the plant in the next clearing. Kill the two Mini Mites with your Stonerender before moving on.
- There are more bats in the next car. Kill them with the mini knives, then keep moving until you reach the rocky tunnel.
- CHI PIECE: In the next room, turn right instead of facing the leaking steam. Break the crates, then torch the ledge ahead to reveal a grapple. Swing to the third platform and break the barrels there for the Chi Piece.
- Use the pole to drop to the next platform, but don't turn right into the caves just yet.
- Instead, turn left and jump to the first pole, and leap to the next one just as the steam subsides.
- Around the corner, you'll face two carriers with shields. Use your Stonerender.
- Further ahead, two enemies with claws will come from the crates on your right. Use the Stonerender to kill them, but beware of invisible creatures in the sky. Use your Cyclone Shuriken to knock them down, then finish them off.
- OUTFIT: Where the clawed enemies came from, break the rest of the crates to reveal a cracked wall on your right. Break through here and use the twin blades to kill the bats and open the eggs. Towards the back, the left side, there's a second breakable wall that you can spot with Ninja Vision. Break it open and crack the egg to get the "Camouflage" Outfit.
- SHINOBI MOJI: Exit the room and turn right. Go to the edge and hold RT as you jump across the gap. Break the barrels here to get the Moji.
- Keep moving in this direction and climb the wall ahead. Turn around to face the side wall that goes back the you came. Start running just after the steam appears from the wall. Keep going back the way you came to the cave you passed before.
- EMBLEM: When you reach the next room, go to the far right corner. There's a barrel hidden in the dark that you can see with Ninja Vision. Break it open to get the Stonerender Sword Emblem.
- Now, move ahead and Grapple to the next platform. Use a Cyclone Shuriken to knock down the Blast Mite above.
- Use the same strategy that worked against previous Blast Mites. Dash around the area to avoid its attacks, then dash in and use the Stonerender.
- Once its energy is depleted, press A to start a Todome, then press X, Y, X, X, Y.
- A train will appear in the next cutscene. Press Up to dodge, then Right, A and Y.
- Knock one of the exploding carriers across the way to reveal a grapple point, or use Flame Shuriken. Swing across and kill the enemies with your blade.
- Move up the path on your left. Break through the wall.
- Watch out for the Mini Mites in the first and third cocoons as you move through the curved hallway. Hit them with the Stonerender, then run when they start to glow to avoid their explosion.
- In the big tunnel, use your Ninja Vision to spot the enemy, then strike it. Press Up, then A during the Quick Time Event.
- You now have to defeat the Stalker Larva. Get behind the small, exploding mites and use unaimed Cyclone Shuriken to knock them back at the Larva.
- When the Larva lays its head on the ground, approach it and strike directly from the front, between its pincers, with your blade..
- When the tornado of rocks appears, run to either side to avoid the stones that fly out. Then, knock more exploding carriers at the Larva -- if you can hit them slightly to the side of the tornado, they'll roll into the boss and cause more damage.
- Next, you'll have to fight a trio of Mini Mites. Hit them twice each with the Stonerender, then retreat to avoid their explosions. Do this quickly to continue the boss's attack cycle.
- Keep dodging attacks and knocking exploding carriers at the larva. If flames appear, tap B with Cyclone Shuriken equipped to douse them.
- When the enemy's energy is depleted, approach it and press A to start the Todome, launching a fairly lengthy Quick Time Event.
- Press Y, X, Up, A, A and B.
- Then, press B, Left, A, A, Up, A, Up and Y.
- It's not over yet. You need to drive the Stalker Larva into the corner of the room before time runs out.
- Dash towards the boss. When it spits flaming rocks, jump at the very last moment to get over them -- they tend to appear closer than they actual are.
- Get up close and use the Stonerender to hit the Larva several times. This will knock it backwards.
- Keep moving forward. After its first attack from further back, it will storm forward again. Retreat, then continue the strategy of jumping over its projectiles and attacking.
- Eventually, you'll deplete all of the bug's energy. Approach it and press A to start the Todome.
- Press X, Y, Left, A and Y.
- Now, you have to launch the bug. Press A, then tap the next three buttons repeatedly: X, Y and Y.
- When the bug comes back to life, tap A repeatedly. Once outside, press A, A and Y to finish off the Larva and complete the mission.
