Mission.008
- This level starts with a Quick Time Event. Press A, then A again to land on the structure.
- You'll confront Ken's father. Press A, X, B, X, X and Y.
- After brief brake, press X.
- After another brief brake, press Down, then tap X repeatedly.
- You'll now confront Kenbe on the ground. Arm the Stonerender and get close to him. You .can dodge his energy waves from afar by blocking or jumping over them.
- When you're close, block his attacks; he'll perform roughly four before you can counter attack.
- Start hitting him with the Stonerender. Keep attacking with X and he'll either push you away or trigger a cutscene.
- If you see a cutscene with the two characters fighting, tap X repeatedly when prompted, then keep attacking with the Stonerender.
- Repeat this cycle until Kenbe retreats
- SHINOBI MOJI': Before pursuing Kanbe, go to the opposite corner of the arena from where you started. Break the metal crate to get the Moji.
- EMBLEM: Go left from this corner and open the crates at the next corner to get the "Megatama" Emblem.
- OUTFIT: Opposite the hole that Kenbe goes through, there's a stack of crates. Open them to get the "Cherry Blossom" Outfit.
- Now, approach the hole to trigger a Quick Time Event and press A to land.
- It's not necessary to fight Kenbe in this section, and the nature of his attacks make it quite difficult. Just block his attacks until you see a cutscene.
- Press Down, A, Up and A.
- CHI PIECE: Directly behind you, there are a few barrels. Open them to get the game's final Chi Piece.
- Approach Kanbe and stay blocked until the next Quick Time Event begins.
- Press Up, then Down. When Ken takes out the Ninja Blade, press X repeatedly to endure.
- Now, tap X repeatedly, then press Y. Then, Endure by tapping Y three times in a row.
- It's time to fight Kenbe with the Ninja Blade. Block his distance attacks, then get close and start attacking with X.
- First, retreat and use twin knives to kill the bats. Block when you see an energy wave coming from Kenbe.
- Now, press up on the D-Pad to take out the Ninja Blade. This powerful sword depletes your energy, so you'll have to act fast ahead.
- Dash towards Kanbe and press X while dashing to perform a powerful slam attack. If you connect, the action will slow down for a moment and you'll see a flash of light. Follow this attack up with regular X attacks.
- If you see a cutscene with the two characters fighting, tap X to endure, then follow with more X attacks.
- Continue this method until you see another cutscene. Press Y, then Up to move up the structure.
- Now, press A, Up, A and A to reach the top floor.
- You're now fighting Kanbe on an energy platform in the sky. If you have any. There are a couple of ways you can do damage to him:
- The best time to attack is right after he turns blue and dashes, or if he misses you with a dash attack. Point towards him and start tapping X immediately afterwards, and you may land a string of X attacks.
- If you block him at just the right time, you'll see a cutscene where you can press X to endure. After doing this successfully, follow with a Y attack followed by a few X attacks.
- You can also parry by blocking just as he's about to attack you and follow with a quick X attack.
- After a while, Kanbe will disappear and create a few shadowy enemies. Switch to your Stonerender and use Cyclone Shuriken to clear out most of the enemies, and finish them off with close-range weapons.
- Keep attacking Kanbe with the same strategy as before.
- Now, the group of enemies he creates will be bigger, and Kanbe will try to hit you from his perch on the center tower. Stand in an area where he can't hit you -- either very close to the tower or where his view of you is obstructed -- and use the same strategy as before on the enemies.
- Continue attacking Kanbe again. If you have an Adrenaline Boost, this is a good time to use it.
- The next group of enemies is larger than ever. Stand in the same position as last time and tap B repeatedly to catch as many enemies as possible with Cyclone Shuriken. Take out the rest with the Ninja Blade.
- Repeat this cycle until Kanbe's energy is depleted. Approach him and press A to begin the Todome.
- When the blades fall from the sky, tap X to Endure. Then, press X, Y and Y. This will end the mission.
