Chapter 3 - Thunderclap of Catastrophe
- Right when the level starts there is a Muramasa shop to the right and a chest that contains an Herb of Spiritual Life in the adjacent alley (watch for bats, use shurikens).
- Buy the Falcon's Talons from Muramasa and proceed forward.
- See the full Falcon's Talons combo list below.
- You will be attacked a group of Demon Spawns. They can be pretty tough, and you might not want to use the Falcon's Talons against them. Use the Dragon Sword, and focus on fighting one Demon Spawn at a time. Use Flying Swallow (Y while jumping forward) to attack them from a distance. Don't bother trying to launch them into the air, as this does not work on large enemies.
- When they're down, proceed straight through Times Square and go through the corridor at the end. Search the corpse and you will be granted the ART OF THE WIND BLADES Ninpo.
- Turn the corner and you will be met by a cluster of Ninjas. This batch of enemies is a good point to learn to use the Falcon's Talons.
- Go past the stairs and open the chest for an Herb of Spiritual Life.
- Head up the stairs and take out the archers quickly.
- When you first enter the building area, go up the stairs and soon you'll find a Crystal Skull(5).
- You will come to a broken ladder. Wall-jump back and forth between the two walls to get to the roof where Ninpo Ninjas await.
- After the Ninpo Ninjas are down, Flying Demons attack. Use the Fiend's Bane Bow to take them out. If you run out of arrows there is a body in the corner with an unlimited supply.
- TIP: The Flying Demons can be persistent and damaging, especially since the bow and arrow is a slow weapon. Jump, and get two shots off before landing each time. Use this technique over and over until all of the Flying Demons are down.
- NOTE: Before wall jumping up the shaft, save your game.
- With the flying creatures gone, archers begin firing at you from a roof across the alley. Again, use the jump-attack with the Fiend's Bane Bow to eliminate the archers from a distance.
- Directly below you on a ledge is a crate with a Devil Way Mushroom. Drop down to get it.
- After you get the Devil Way Mushroom, drop all the way down to the bottom and encounter a group of Ninja Dogs. Destroy all of them and continue on.
- Use wall-run on the shaft to your right, and then use the ladder up on the landing to bet back up to the top.
- The pole you see there, grab it to shimmy to the other side.
- More ninjas will attack you. After they are dead and gone, go back to the other side and drop down again. You'll encounter another group of Ninjas. Use Flying Swallow (Y while jumping forward) to maintain control over them.
- There's a save point in the corner. Save your game.
- After you save, turn around and go through the little alley and find a chest containing an Herb of Spiritual Life.
- Drop down to the ground and encounter a group of shuriken-throwing Ninjas. Get rid of them all. Keep moving while fighting them. You can use Reverse Wind (LT + L) and Counter Attack (X or Y while blocking) to your advantage in situations such as this.
- At one of the corners near the end of the street find a chest containing an Herb of Spiritual Life. At the other corner find a corpse containing a scroll that reads "The Greater Fiends Part 1".
- You'll soon be attacked by a group of Demon Spawns. Eliminate them. Remember not to use attacks that launch them into the air, as this will not work. Use Flying Swallow (Y while jumping forward), Counter Attack (X or Y while blocking), ground combos, and Obliteration Techniques (hold Y near a wounded enemy) to take them out. Demon Spawns are even more dangerous when wounded, so focus on one enemy at a time if you can.
- As you continue onward more Demon Swpams ambush you. If you're not using the Dragon Sword, it is recommended to use it since it's the most effective against them. Head towards the second batch's spawning point, walk forward to the only available place, and watch the cutscene.
- A Flying Demon starts attacking you along with Demon Spanws. Make good use of whatever health packs you have at this point. Block, dodge, roll. Flip around as much as you can, and Flying Swallow them (Y while jumping forward) with your sword until they have been destroyed.
- TIP: If you have any Ninpo, put it to good use here.
- There will be a hole in the ground. Jump through it and save your game at the save point.
- From here, continue making your way through the underground tunnel. More Demon Spawns and bats will attack you. After you eliminate them, continue onward.
- Find a corpse with a Jewel of the Demon Seal near a dead end on your right.
- TIP: Go back and save your game if you feel it's necessary.
- Go to the other side, opposite the dead body and use the ladder. Go all the way down on the ledges to get some Red Orbs from a chest.
- Now go back and you'll notice some sparks. Enter that small opening and open the chest for an Herb of Spiritual Life.
- Drop down to the lower level and wait for another battle with some Demon Spawns. #When they're gone, drop down into the water. Head back to ground level and wait for some bats to attack. Make quick work of them with the shurikens.
- Interact with the corpse to receive a scroll explaining Unrivaled Soaring.
- After you get the scroll, go up the ladder and wall climb to the ledge. Keep wall-running until you see a chest which contains an Herb of Spiritual Life.
- NOTE: You will see a pole ahead. Jump to it, and swing to the next landing across the water. If you fall, you'll have to go all the way back around a detour section to get back up.
- TIP: Before swinging to the other side, use the Fiend's Bane Bow on the Demon Spawns on the next landing.
- When you get to the other side, finish off any other demons that didn't die the first time around.
- Wall-run to the next area, and encounter another batch of Demon Spawns. Eliminate them and move on.
- Drop down and find a corpse on the ground and refill your arrow supply.
- Continue onward, and encounter more Demon Spawns. Remember that sometimes the best technique is to play it safe and use Ninpo. Otherwise, focus on one Demon Spawn at a time, make use of Flying Swallow (Y while jumping forward), Counter Attack (Y or X while blocking), Obliteration Techniques (hold Y near a wounded enemy) and Ultimate TechniqueS (draw essence holding Y).
- TIP: Make sure to use the Dragon Sword against Demon Spawns, rather than the Lunar Staff since it's too slow.
- Wall jump up to the top area save your game at the save point.
- After saving, wall-jump to to next higher area, and encounter a crowd of Demon Spawns.
- When they're down, move forward until you find a bunch of walls close together. Jump in the water and swim to the very end for a chest that contains Life of the Gods. Use it.
- TIP: You can run on top of the water by pressing the A button rapidly. Now swim back to the top, get out of the water and wall-climb to the top. Turn around and wall-run all the way to the other side to find another Crystal Skull.
- Achievement: Mastered Invisible Path
- Now go back the other way, back to where you found the save point (with the wall climbing structure). Wall-climb to the top and continue on.
- Use the pole above to shimmy across to the other side. Before doing so, swing from it and find a nearby Herb of Spiritual Life.
- Get back on the pole and shimmy to the next ledge. Wall-run to the other side and encounter a group of Ninjas. There will be an archer at the end on top of a ledge. Quickly kill all of the ninjas, then wall-run to the top of the ledge and deal with the archer.
- A Muramasa Shop is also here, so upgrade whatever weapons you want.
- Go through the door and encounter a group of archers and Ninjas. Let the Ninjas follow you out so the archers can't shoot you. Deal with them, then use your bow to kill the archer on the other side from a distance.
- TIP: When you are in situations like these, and a wall is blocking them from shooting you, slightly peak out a door or window and use your bow to kill them.
- Enter the door again and drop down. You'll be attacked by more Demon Spawns. Eliminate them.
- TIP: Be careful of the fans as they will deal some damage to you if you get too close. Deal with the rest of the Demon Spawns, and then hop to the right ledge and examine the dead body for some Incendiary ShurikenS.
- Throw the Incendiary Shuriken at the spinning fan to make it stop, and head through it and down deeper into the tunnel system.
- More Ninjas will soon attack you. Dispose of them quickly and continue on.
- Use the ladder to get back on the ledge and deal with another archer.
- NOTE: There is also another spinning fan on the opposite side facing the first one you stopped. Make the fan stop and go on through it. Once through, shoot the other fan's blue crystal looking ball and head on through. Get the chest on the ledge at the end which contains an Herb of Spiritual Life.
- Now go all the way back to the first fan and head on through again. Explore a bit if you have the desire. There will be a pole up top that you can swing from to enter a new area in the water. Bats will attack you so just make haste and destroy them all. Remember to use the Shurikens.
- When you're ready, get back into the water and swim underwater through all of those tunnels until you're able to get back out of the water again. Bats will attack you, so use the Shurikens.
- Save your game at the save point. There's a dead body with arrows if you need them.
- Go through the nearby doorway and wall-climb to the top, where archers will start shooting at you. Use the Fiend's Bane Bow to eliminate them.
- Now get on the ledge in front of you and keep wall-running until you get to another ledge. Open the chest for Red Orbs.
- Now turn around and jump to next section, where you'll encounter more Demon Spawns. Kill them.
- NOTE: Across the way, you'll see a save point but you can't wall-run to it. If you try and drop down, you'll be attacked by more Demon Spawns. Once the demons are dead, head around the side along the curving path.
- You'll find a corpse with a scroll explaining the Technique of the Invisible Path.
- After obtaining the scroll, hop onto the ledge and buy whatever you need from the Muramasa Shop.
- Continue onward and encounter another group of ninjas. When they're down, go straight up the path and destroy the archers across the way.
- Save your game at the save point.
- From your current position jump to the ground and prepare for another battle with Melee Ninjas and Archers. Take out the archers first, then the lesser Ninjas.
- Wall-run up the right wall into the train. Go the the very end of it and go back outside to the left, to a new area.
- This triggers a difficult battle with a crowd of Demon Spawns and Half-Dragon Demons. Use your Ninpo as necessary if you run into trouble. Keep moving around, dodging, rolling out of the way of their attacks and of course blocking. Use the surrounding walls to your advantage, and Flying Swallow (Y while jumping forward) to bring the Half-Dragon Demons down to ground level.
- After they're dead, continue through the rest of the underground tunnel system and a cutscene occurs. Prepare for another boss battle.
-
Boss - GigaDeath
- This boss has electrical attacks. If you're not in range of it, he'll start spitting electrical bolts at you, many at a time. Your primary weapon against GigaDeath should be the Fiend's Bane Bow. Charge it up, and fire it right as his head and he curves around from a distance. Be quick however since as soon as he turns around he'll shoot you with more bolts.
- NOTE: Do not get too close to GigaDeath or you'll take damage. You cannot touch GigaDeath.
- The boss will keep flying around the area, spitting bolts at you and electrocuting you if you get too close.
- Use Ninpo attacks if you have any and continue to use the Fiend's Bane Bow. If you can get in close range of him, you can slowly chop away his health with the lunar staff, but be careful.
- When threatened enough, GigaDeath will unleash exploding, flying creatures on you, which are difficult to avoid.
- NOTE: If you get too close to GigaDeath's head, he will chomp you in his mouth, dealing major damage.
- TIP: You will need to flip around a lot in this battle, because staying still will cause him to directly hit with his lightning bolts.
- Keep using the strategies suggested above, and he'll eventually go down, ending the chapter.
- Achievement: Finished Chapter 3
