Chapter 8 - Submit, or Die!
- Watch the cutscene. When it ends, proceed down the path and restock at the Muramasa shop and find a chest with ARROWS (you'll need them ahead).
- When you go around the corner, Light Artillery Ninjas will attack from behind a barricade in the distance.
- TIP: This section can be very overwhelming, as the Artillery Ninjas are persistent. To beat them, use the existing barricades to you advantage, Reverse Wind out of the way when you need to, and use the Fiend's Bane Bow fully charged to take out the Ninjas. Do not attempt to run in and attack them at close quarters, as you will be hit multiple times with rockets.
- When the first of them are down, use the same technique on the next batch of Artillery Ninjas in the distance.
- When ready, head to the left around the corner and encounter the next round of Artillery Ninjas. Defeat them the same way.
- Artillery Ninjas may appear behind you, in which case quickly double back and take out at close quarters.
- TIP: Target any explosive barrels near the Artillery Ninjas when you're sniping them. You can take out a couple of them at a time this way.
- When you enter the next larger open area, Mecha Soldiers will engage you. Immediately use any Ninpo you have on them. Otherwise use the Flying Swallow with the Dragon Sword, or the Eclipse Scythe. You have to keep moving to avoid their rather strong attacks. Also, keep in mind that when they die and explode, you can be damaged by the explosion, so stay back when they start to falter.
- When they're down, retreat back to the opening of the wide open area, behind the barricade and tank, and snipe the Artillery Ninjas in the distance with a Fiend's Bane Bow.
- Walk through the wide open area, and turn right down the next road. You'll have to use the barricade right in front of you for cover to take out the Artillery Ninjas in the distance from safety.
- When ready, turn right down the alley, and save at the save point on the right.
- After you've saved, continue down the tunnel. When you come an opening, you will ambushed by Ninja Dogs. Use Flying Swallow nonstop on them.
- Find a chest with an Herb of Spiritual Life to the left around the corner.
- Go through a small door on the left, and encounter a group of Ninjas on the ground. What makes this encounter challenging is there are Artillery Ninjas in the distance.
- 'TIP: Tto the right and left of the entrance to this area, you can use the FLYING BIRD technique to jump up between to walls, and get up onto the second level. This will give you quick access to the Artillery Ninjas. Close in on them fast and wipe them out. This section will be made much more manageable once they're gone.
- On the left at ground level, there is a room with a Muramasa shop. After stocking up, head back into the main area and proceed forward through a small door.
- Turn left and trigger a short cutscene. There are mines hidden in the ground in the snow ahead.
- TIP: In order to pass over the snow and not explode the mines, you'll need to walk slowly over the faint footprints in the snow (where there are obviously no mines). When you get onto solid ground again, to the right you'll encounter Artillery Ninjas in the distance. Additionally, there is more snow ahead (with footprints) and mines underneath. So, you'll need to hang back and take out the rocket launcher ninjas from a distance before proceeding. Otherwise death is imminent. Use Incendiary Shurikens if you have them, and the Fiend's Bane Bow until they're all down.
- Go forward across the snow, and use the footprints. Find a Devil Way Mushroom in a crate.
- Do not go around the next corner to the right yet, as there are Heavy Artillery Ninjas shooting at you in the distance. Peek your head out slightly, and snipe them with the Fiend's Bane Bow.
- TIP: The Crystal Skull to the left is very difficult to obtain, because it is in an area surrounded by mines. In order to get it, wall-run on the wall to the right of the skull, heading left toward the skull. You should land right by the skull, possibly setting off a mine but that may be inevitable. Quickly press RB, and then jump back across the snow to safety.
- When ready head through the big gate, and save at the save point.
- Go through a door next to the save point, and enter a room with polished floors. Melee Ninjas will attack you. Defeat with Flying Swallow, Izuna Drop, and other quick-moving attacks. Don't stay in one place for too long, because they shoot Incendiary Shurikens at you.
- When they'll all finished off, go through a small door to the right of the entrance to the building. It will take you up a spiraling staircase. You'll have to wall-run over a couple gaps, until you're up at the top.
- Jump and grab onto the circular pole straight ahead, move to the right and drop down onto the new area. There is a door you can open straight ahead.
- NOTE: On the other left side of the landing, where you can drop down from the pole, there is a corpse with a Life of the Gods.
- Go up out the door up the steps, to the left of the locked door. Through the door find a corpse with the Bell Key you'll need to open the door.
- Open the door and go down the steps. Find a Crystal Skull on the right as you head down the steps.
- Go through the door and head onward. Open the tomb on the right, and jump down the hole.
- Follow the path through the shattered bricks. There are bats around, waste them with shurikens.
- You will eventually come out to a wide open hallway. Follow it. You can shatter the benches in the room, but there's no real reason to.
- Near the end of the hallway find a chest on the right when Red Orbs. After you obtain them, Melee Ninjas will attack in a crowd. Move quickly, and don't stop slashing. Bear in mind they have incendiary shurikens.
- When they're down, a short cutscene will occur, showing you a door that has apparently been opened. If you go past the subway car, there is a staircase on the right hand side. follow the stairs up, to a locked door (you need the keycard).
- Go back to the open the door the bus and enter. Search the bus. There is a Crystal Skull on the right as you enter.
- You'll find the keycard you need on a dead body in the bedroom in the subway car. At the other end of the subway in a room, find a crate with a Grains of Spiritual Life.
- Right when you open the door, save your game at the save point straight ahead.
- You'll need to go up the stairs and through the door ahead to trigger the cutscene and boss fight.

Sub-Boss: Giant Brute Fiend
- TIP: Stay under the Brute's legs, and continually slash him with Dragon Sword combos. Do not attempt to use the Flying Swallow technique on him, as he is impervious to it. The best strategy we found was to ignore everything besides the Giant Brute Fiend. Stay under his legs and spam-attack him with the Dragon Sword.
- TIP: Ninpo is extremely effective against the Brute Fiend. Use if if you have it.
- Beware of the Mecha Soldiers, the Brute Fiend's breath attack and his grab/throw attack. If the Mecha Soldiers close in and start attacking you, Flying Swallow or Reverse Wind away from them to safety, then move back in to continue spamming his legs. He should fall soon enough.
- Be advised that after Brute Fiend goes down, you'll still need to clean up any remaining Mecha Soldiers. Use the Flying Swallow to finish them off.

- Go into the building, and drop down through the ground.
- NOTE: You may want to retreat back through the door that leads you to the boss fight, and save at the save point in case you die in the next area.
- Find a book on the ground, "The Rule of the King of Darkness."
- Continue on the path, and encounter a group of Melee Ninjas. Ninjas of this size should not be too much of a problem for you at this point.
- On the right hand side, find a corpse with Incendiary ShurikenS.
- On the right further along there is another cell containing a corpse with a Life of the Gods.
- Continue down the tunnel. Kick open the cell on the right, and use an incendiary shuriken to blow open the cracked, glowing wall.
- Go through the new hole in the wall. You'll be at a cliff, with water down below, and a landing across the water. Jump down across the water, and fight a crowd of Water Demons. You should be able to make quick work of them.
- Once on the landing, go to the left (even while you're fighting the scorpions) and find a chest with a Lives of a Thousand Gods. Use it.
- Once the Water Demons are down, head across the water down the tunnel.
- BEWARE: There are Undead Fish in this area.
- Continue down the tunnel, and you'll come to a staircase to the left. Follow it up and around.
- You'll come to a ladder. Use the FLYING BIRD technique to jump up all the way to the top. Blow open the glowing wall ahead.
- Go down into the new big room and find a chest with an Herb of Spiritual Life on the ground straight ahead. While you're there save your game at the save point.
- Go up the stairs in the room, and go outside. Turn left around the curve. You'll encounter Melee Ninjas. Destroy them (you're heading to a SHOP at this point).
- Once they're down, hang a left around the corner, and restock at the Muramasa shop back in the building on the right.
- When you're ready, go through the big wooden door on the ground level. Right when you get outside, find a Test of Valor on the ground. There's also a chest on the ground with ARROWS.
- To the right of the Muramasa shop, there is a ladder. Take it up to the next level. Walk along the edge of the room with the big gears.
- To continue you're going to need to jump up onto the lowest horizontal gear. You'll encounter more Melee Ninjas up on the gears. Eliminate them.
- NOTE: Be aware that if the ninjas knock you off the gears, you'll fall all the way down to the ground level, and need to climb back up.
- You'll come to a point up on the gears where you're riding a cog forwards, and you'll need to jump and grab onto a pole, and swing to the next gear. Continue onto the next gear, and encounter more Melee Ninjas. Destroy them.
- TIP: Next you will come to a point where you're holding onto a cog with poles bisection it, and you'll have to swing forward at the right moment to land on the landing in front of you to get a Crystal Skull.
- Jump up to the next level, and find a corpse with IZO'S NOTEbook. Find another notebook on a corpse, Koshimaru's Notebook (1).
- Continue up the ramp to the next level. To the right, you'll see one gear rolling vertically up to a connected gear rolling horizontally. You'll need to jump up onto the first, let it roll you up a bit, and then jump onto the horizontal one. Then turn around and jump and hold onto the circular pole. Let it guide you around to the other side, where you'll flip onto a vertical rolling gear, and then jump up onto another horizontal one.
- TIP: If ever you feel like you're going to be a bit short when jumping, use Flying Swallow to increase you horizontal distance whenever necessary.
- When you get up on this next big horizontal gear, you'll encounter more Melee Ninjas. Waste them.
- When they're down jump up onto four consecutive horizontal gears, then two vertical rolling ones, and then finally onto the last landing in this section with a save point.
- Continue up the ramp to the next level. Go left and Trigger a cutscene.
Boss: Zedonius
- NOTE: We found Zedonius to be the toughest boss fight in the game yet. Once the battle gets started, there will rarely be a free moment when you're not being directly attacked. Hopefully you have stocked up on a few health items.
- BASIC STRATEGY: When Zedonius is on the ground, don't use Flying Swallow, as he will block it every time. However, when he's in the air, do then use Flying Swallow to attempt to bring him down. When you have him on the ground, use a series of short combos and then Reverse Wind away. Zedonius' combos can be devastating, and his grab/throw attack deals major damage. Stay close but do not stay idle. Use the same basic strategy we recommended for Genshin: block/Reverse Wind, block/Reverse Wind, until his combos are finished, then try some combos of your own. When he summons the Water Demons, do you best to avoid and not engage them at all, and focus on Zedonius. Alternatively, you may want to kill a couple of the Water Demons with an Izuna Drop (X Y X X X Y), which has the potential to hurt Zedonius if he's in range. When he uses his fireball ranged attack, you have to dodge back and forth non stop in order to avoid it. When he's getting low on health, and he has summoned Water Demons, it can be best to actually move in close and spam him with slash after slash and just hope for the best.
- NOTE: It is possible to stun Zedonius, where he'll kneel down and stay vulnerable for a few seconds.
- BEWARE: Watch out for his powerful technique where he stomps the ground from above, inflicting fire damage. This is almost impossible to avoid, but if you're fast with Reverse Wind it can be done.
