You will notice two bars in the top left corner of the HUD. The higher bar is
your health bar. If your health bar depletes to nothing, you will die. The
second bar is the tricky one. This is your special bar. It will fill up as you
kill enemies. Killing enemies with your katana will make it fill up quicker
than with shurikens. If you use your special by pressing A+B and your special
bar is full, you will kill every enemy on the screen. If it is not full, you
will simply be invincible as it slowly empties.
There aren't many items in this game, not enough to warrant a complete section
for them, so I will list them here. First and most important is a key that you
will need to unlock the door at the end of each stage. The second is a heart
and will replenish a small portion of health. The third is a blue lightning
bolt which will fill up your special bar. The fourth is a yellow lightning bolt
which will upgrade your shuriken. You will lose a level of your shuriken power
by being hit by an enemy. Below are what each level of shuriken will do.
Level 1 This one is your basic shuriken, nothing special and exactly
what you would expect from a shuriken. You can throw it and it
hits your enemy to hurt them. Your basic level 1 shuriken isn't
powerful and won't do much damage.
Level 2 The level 2 shuriken gives a nice area of effect attack. It is
a little more powerful than a level 1 shuriken and you will
notice it will take less hits to kill an enemy. The main
difference you will see is that it shoots three shurikens at
once and all in a vertical line. This makes it much easier to
hit moving enemies and make jumping throw attacks.
Level 3 This shuriken isn't going to give you the area of effect that
the level 2 shuriken gives you but it is still more powerful
which means one hit will kill most enemies. On top of that,
these shurikens will go through enemies. So if you are on a
platform and there are two or three enemies in front of you on
the same platform, you will kill all of them with that one
attack.
Your other form of attack is your katana. This is a great tool as it will one
hit kill most enemies you meet in the game if you jump while using your katana.
If you are standing while using it, it will take two hits to kill a typical
enemy. If the enemy is looking the other way, simply sneak up behind them and
cut them for an easy kill. A good way to deal with small ninjas is to jump and
use your katana in the air. Jumping katana attacks cover a wider area so it's
much easier to kill enemies with them.
Don't forget that you are in fact a ninja. This isn't exactly a stealth game
but it does have some cool features that you can take advantage of. If an enemy
doesn't see you, it won't attack you. This counts whether you are behind a wall
or behind them. Take advantage of this and try to sneak up on enemies. Use your
katana when you're behind them as it is a one shot kill weapon. The way enemies
react to sound is a bit confusing as sometimes you can jump and they will hear
you and attack you and other times they won't hear you and just stand around.s
Another important thing to note in this game is your Kaginawa Wire grappling
hook. If you have ever played Bionic Commando, you will surely understand how
the grappling hook works. You can use this to swing across large gaps or onto
higher platforms. Just press A while jumping to use it. If you are trying to
get onto a higher platform, just swing side to side until you swing over the
edge and onto the platform.
One trick with the grappling hook that you will need as you progress through
the game is to climb up a narrow path. Jump and grapple onto a wall. Swing away
from the wall and immediately as you start swinging away, jump and grapple to
the wall again. If you just jump sitting still on the wall, you will drop so
make sure to swing away from the wall first. It's tough at first but you will
get used to it quick and do it no problem. Just practice this when you can
early so you won't have troubles later on.
There are more maneuverability features in this game other than just the
grappling hook though. You will notice that if you jump towards an edge of a
platform, you will grab onto the edge. From here, you have three options. You
can either jump onto the platform which is only really useful on the time
trials. You can press down to drop back down. The other option is to press up
to pull yourself up which won't draw the attention of enemies. You can also
slide by crouching and pressing A. You can tap it to slide a little or hold it
to slide a lot.

Please Note - This entire walkthrough is written on Hard difficulty. The harder
the difficulty, the more enemies that will appear. The keys will also sometimes
appear in different locations on easy but always the same between normal and
hard. I will list at the beginning of each stage, where the key is in every
difficulty but the enemy listing in each area may be off depending on which
difficulty you are playing on. As for hostages, the harder the difficulty, the
more hostages there will be. If you're playing an easier difficulty and you
don't see one of the hostages I list here, simply move on thinking that is a
hostage that isn't included in the difficulty you are playing on.

Stage 4
_________________________
Target: Kabuki (Warrior)
Ninpo - Hanabi Magic
Attacks - Spear - If you are close to Kabuki, he will try to attack you
with his spear. There are three different heights he
will attack, one being at about his head, the other at
his waist, and the final by his feet.
Fireball - After you hurt him enough, he will jump to the highest
platform and twirl his spear which will shoot fireballs
in all different directions.
Movement - Kabuki's movements are simple. He will hop around on one foot to
move from platform to platform. He doesn't move very quickly at all
so it is easy to get away if he ever gets close. After you hurt him
enough, he will jump up to the top of the stage and stand still
while he does his fireball attack. From there, he will continue to
just hop around.
Strategy - Watch which direction he starts to move in from the top and run to
the opposite side of the stage. Jump onto the first platform there
and look at him. Attack him as much as possible. From here, you can
jump and throw shurikens while he's on the highest platform on
either far side, stand on this platform when he's level to you, or
duck and throw shurikens when he's on the ground. He shouldn't get
close to you by the time he jumps up to shoot fireballs around.
When he starts this, fall to the ground and just run back and forth
while watching any fireballs that may be near you, make sure to
avoid them. Just repeat this strategy until he dies. If you need
health or energy, jump to the highest platform in the stage.

Stage 4
_________________________
Target: Hannya (Sniper)
Ninpo - Toad Magic
Attacks - Fire Spit - When the toad Hannya is riding on gets close to you,
it will spit fire at you.
Katana Spin - After Hannya falls off the toad, he will spin with
his katana and either bounce around or slide along
the ground.
Movement - The boss will bounce around when he is on the toad. When he uses his
fire spit attack, he will stop moving. When he falls of the toad,
he will either bounce around or slide along the ground. He bounces
with more health and will typically slide along the ground with
less but don't be surprised to see him make either of these
movements regardless of his health.
Strategy - Keep your distance when Hannya is on the toad and just keep jumping
and throwing shurikens at Hannya. If you hit the toad, it won't
do any damage to Hannya. After enough damage, Hannya will fall off
and jump or slide around with his katana. He will slide around more
and more the further you get into this boss battle. When Hannya is
off the toad, he still takes damage but you want to focus more on
avoiding his attacks. Just try to avoid them and attack him while
he is on the toad until he dies.

Stage 4

Target: Shadow Master
Ninpo - Dragon Magic
Attacks - Sword Beam - As the boss walks around in a human form, he will
swipe his sword and shoot out a magic beam. If you
are standing, he will shoot high so you can duck
below it but if you crouch, he will shoot it along
the ground.
Fire Dragon - After enough damage, he will turn into a fire dragon
and fly around aimlessly on the screen.
Movement - When Karyuu is in a human form, he will simply walk back and forth
while taking the pilot hostage. He will stop to make his sword beam
attacks. When he turns into a fire dragon, he will fly around
aimlessly.
Strategy - Immediately, you will notice two bars for the boss instead of one,
the smaller bar is the health of the pilot and if the pilots dies,
the boss battle is over and you have to restart. Karyuu will begin
in his human form. Now you just have to jump and attack his head
with shurikens while avoiding any sword beams he shoots until he
turns into a fire dragon. Avoid him as he flies around aimlessly
and try to attack his head whenever you can. Just keep up this
strategy until this boss dies.

Stage 4
_________________________
Target: Tengu (Hunter)
Ninpo - Bat Magic
Attacks - Spawn Bats - This is easily the most annoying part of this boss,
she will spawn a ton of bats from all over the
screen to hurt you.
Throw Knives - She has two knives in her hands at all times, she
will randomly throw those in opposite directions and
then they will return to her.
Movement - The only movements will be the boss jumping from platform to
platform. She will hang from the bottom part of the platform and
there are three platforms she jumps onto. There is one in the
center up high and then the two you will see at the top of the
screen from where you start on each side. Every now and then on
these platforms, she'll jump straight down and land back on the
same platform instead of jumping to another.
Strategy - The main problem with this boss battle is dealing with the bats. Try
to make those jumping katana swipes which cover more of an area to
kill several bats at once. When she jumps onto one of the lower
platforms, jump and keep attacking her. Also make sure to use your
energy power to do more damage safely. Just keep killing bats with
your katana and attacking her with shurikens when she is low until
you kill her.

Stage 3
_________________________
Target: Shadow Master
Ninpo - Dragon Magic
Attacks - Sword Beam - As the boss walks around in a human form, he will
swipe his sword and shoot out a magic beam. If you
are standing, he will shoot high so you can duck
below it but if you crouch, he will shoot it along
the ground.
Fire Dragon - He will teleport to the top of the screen and bring
fire dragons down from above or up from below. When
they appear from below, the middle will be clear and
when they come from above, the clear area will be
around the edges of the ground, but not as far to the
edge as possible. Towards the end of the fight, he
will send dragons from both top and bottom. At the
very end, he will shoot four up from the bottom
instead of two and send several waves up and down.
Movement - Shadow Master will walk towards you and stop to use his sword beam
attack. After a while, they will teleport and do either two things.
One of the two is teleport to the top of the screen to use his fire
dragon attack. The other is to teleport and fill the screen up with
fake duplicates of himself. After they teleport back, they walk
like normal again.
Strategy - First thing is first, to hurt this boss, you have to attack his
head. Just keep jumping at head height and attacking him with
shurikens. When he stops to use his sword beam, just duck under his
attacks and keep attacking until he teleports. When he teleports,
he will either make several duplicate fake copies of himself or
summon fire dragons. If he makes duplicate copies, just attack all
of them because if you hit the right one, it will hurt him. If he
teleports to the top, stay in the middle. If the dragons appear
from below, you will stay safe. If the dragons appear from above,
you will have time to avoid them. Towards the end of this battle,
he will summon dragons from the top and bottom so avoid both. At
the very end, he will shoot four up from the bottom instead of two
and send several waves up and down. Just keep following this
strategy until this boss dies.

Final Stage
_________________________
Slide under either wall while avoiding the electric shock and jump onto the
higher platform. Slide towards the center while keeping an eye on the electric
shocks. Now zig zag up this room while avoiding the lasers. To be quick, you
should grapple onto a wall twice before switching walls. Now at the top, fall
down in the small gap on either side. Both sides are different so refer to the
walkthrough below to know what to do in each path.
If you went down the left path:
Slide under the wall to the left. Jump to the higher platforms while
avoiding the electric shocks. At the second set of exposed wires, jump and
grapple straight up. Pull yourself up and wait for the next laser to turn
off. Jump on that side and pull yourself up onto the block that you were
just grappled onto. From here, jump and grapple onto the higher platform
while avoiding another electric shock. Avoid the fire jet and jump onto the
higher platform until you reach the large platform in the middle with the
laser.
If you went down the right path:
Slide under the wall to the right and duck under the fire jet. When it
stops, jump onto the platform to the right and duck under this fire jet.
Again, when this one stops, jump onto the platform to the left. Now duck
under another fire jet and jump onto either platform above, whichever
doesn't have a laser active on it. From here, quickly jump to the center
block and jump up to the next platform without the laser on. Jump up another
platform where the laser isn't on and then onto the block in the middle.
Now this is where both paths meet. Wait for the laser to turn off and jump up
onto this platform. Jump and grapple onto one of the pegs in the center of this
room. Swing and grapple onto one of the higer platforms. Pull yourself up onto
the small platform in the center and fall into the pit in the center of it. Now
jump up and grapple straight up. Grapple up a couple more sets of pegs while
avoiding the lasers on your way up and attack the computer on the top platform
a couple of times until you break it to complete this stage and the game.

Kabuki
_________________________
Ninpo - Hanabi Magic
Attacks - Spear - If you are close to Kabuki, he will try to attack you
with his spear. There are three different heights he
will attack, one being at about his head, the other at
his waist, and the final by his feet.
Fireball - After you hurt him enough, he will jump to the highest
platform and twirl his spear which will shoot fireballs
in all different directions.
Movement - Kabuki's movements are simple. He will hop around on one foot to
move from platform to platform. He doesn't move very quickly at all
so it is easy to get away if he ever gets close. After you hurt him
enough, he will jump up to the top of the stage and stand still
while he does his fireball attack. From there, he will continue to
just hop around.
Strategy - Watch which direction he starts to move in from the top and run to
the opposite side of the stage. Jump onto the first platform there
and look at him. Attack him as much as possible. From here, you can
jump and throw shurikens while he's on the highest platform on
either far side, stand on this platform when he's level to you, or
duck and throw shurikens when he's on the ground. He shouldn't get
close to you by the time he jumps up to shoot fireballs around.
When he starts this, fall to the ground and just run back and forth
while watching any fireballs that may be near you, make sure to
avoid them. Just repeat this strategy until he dies. If you need
health or energy, jump to the highest platform in the stage.
_________________________
Hannya
_________________________
Ninpo - Toad Magic
Attacks - Fire Spit - When the toad Hannya is riding on gets close to you,
it will spit fire at you.
Katana Spin - After Hannya falls off the toad, he will spin with
his katana and either bounce around or slide along
the ground.
Movement - The boss will bounce around when he is on the toad. When he uses his
fire spit attack, he will stop moving. When he falls of the toad,
he will either bounce around or slide along the ground. He bounces
with more health and will typically slide along the ground with
less but don't be surprised to see him make either of these
movements regardless of his health.
Strategy - Keep your distance when Hannya is on the toad and just keep jumping
and throwing shurikens at Hannya. If you hit the toad, it won't
do any damage to Hannya. After enough damage, Hannya will fall off
and jump or slide around with his katana. He will slide around more
and more the further you get into this boss battle. When Hannya is
off the toad, he still takes damage but you want to focus more on
avoiding his attacks. Just try to avoid them and attack him while
he is on the toad until he dies.

Shadow Master
_________________________
Ninpo - Dragon Magic
Attacks - Sword Beam - As the boss walks around in a human form, he will
swipe his sword and shoot out a magic beam. If you
are standing, he will shoot high so you can duck
below it but if you crouch, he will shoot it along
the ground.
Fire Dragon - After enough damage, he will turn into a fire dragon
and fly around aimlessly on the screen.
Movement - When Karyuu is in a human form, he will simply walk back and forth
while taking the pilot hostage. He will stop to make his sword beam
attacks. When he turns into a fire dragon, he will fly around
aimlessly.
Strategy - Immediately, you will notice two bars for the boss instead of one,
the smaller bar is the health of the pilot and if the pilots dies,
the boss battle is over and you have to restart. Karyuu will begin
in his human form. Now you just have to jump and attack his head
with shurikens while avoiding any sword beams he shoots until he
turns into a fire dragon. Avoid him as he flies around aimlessly
and try to attack his head whenever you can. Just keep up this
strategy until this boss dies.

Tengu
_________________________
Ninpo - Bat Magic
Attacks - Spawn Bats - This is easily the most annoying part of this boss,
she will spawn a ton of bats from all over the
screen to hurt you.
Throw Knives - She has two knives in her hands at all times, she
will randomly throw those in opposite directions and
then they will return to her.
Movement - The only movements will be the boss jumping from platform to
platform. She will hang from the bottom part of the platform and
there are three platforms she jumps onto. There is one in the
center up high and then the two you will see at the top of the
screen from where you start on each side. Every now and then on
these platforms, she'll jump straight down and land back on the
same platform instead of jumping to another.
Strategy - The main problem with this boss battle is dealing with the bats. Try
to make those jumping katana swipes which cover more of an area to
kill several bats at once. When she jumps onto one of the lower
platforms, jump and keep attacking her. Also make sure to use your
energy power to do more damage safely. Just keep killing bats with
your katana and attacking her with shurikens when she is low until
you kill her.

Shadow Master (Revisited)
_________________________
Ninpo - Dragon Magic
Attacks - Sword Beam - As the boss walks around in a human form, he will
swipe his sword and shoot out a magic beam. If you
are standing, he will shoot high so you can duck
below it but if you crouch, he will shoot it along
the ground.
Fire Dragon - He will teleport to the top of the screen and bring
fire dragons down from above or up from below. When
they appear from below, the middle will be clear and
when they come from above, the clear area will be
around the edges of the ground, but not as far to the
edge as possible. Towards the end of the fight, he
will send dragons from both top and bottom. At the
very end, he will shoot four up from the bottom
instead of two and send several waves up and down.
Movement - Shadow Master will walk towards you and stop to use his sword beam
attack. After a while, they will teleport and do either two things.
One of the two is teleport to the top of the screen to use his fire
dragon attack. The other is to teleport and fill the screen up with
fake duplicates of himself. After they teleport back, they walk
like normal again.
Strategy - First thing is first, to hurt this boss, you have to attack his
head. Just keep jumping at head height and attacking him with
shurikens. When he stops to use his sword beam, just duck under his
attacks and keep attacking until he teleports. When he teleports,
he will either make several duplicate fake copies of himself or
summon fire dragons. If he makes duplicate copies, just attack all
of them because if you hit the right one, it will hurt him. If he
teleports to the top, stay in the middle. If the dragons appear
from below, you will stay safe. If the dragons appear from above,
you will have time to avoid them. Towards the end of this battle,
he will summon dragons from the top and bottom so avoid both. At
the very end, he will shoot four up from the bottom instead of two
and send several waves up and down. Just keep following this
strategy until this boss dies.

Thugs
_________________________________________________
Thugs are your typical enemy that you will run into when playing Ninja Five-O.
They come in varieties like all enemies and look like just regular thugs with
guns, hence the name. They like hiding behind cover but will run towards you if
they only use knives. They can easily be killed by shurikens. They will all die
with three level 1 shurikens, two level 2 shurikens, or 1 level 3 shuriken.
GRENADIER THUG The Grenadier Thug is the easiest to deal with. They
never move so they are an easy target from long range.
Even at close range all they will do is throw some
explosives towards you so they are never really a
major threat. I would still recommend killing them
whenever you can for the points and just to save
yourself the trouble of dealing with them later.
GUNNER THUG The Gunner Thug likes to hide behind cover, they use a
few different kinds of guns like hand guns, assault
rifles, rail guns, and flamethrowers. Flamethrowers
are tough to deal with as they go through cover so try
to keep your distance on those. The rest of the gunner
thugs are easy to deal with if you just keep your
distance.
HOSTAGE TAKER The hostage takers aren't much of a threat but you
have to kill all of them in order to advance in a
stage. They will hold the hostage in front of them.
When they want to shoot is your time to attack. Kill
them quickly before they use the hostage as a meat
shield again. You can also sneak up behind them and
kill them with ease.
KNIFE THUG The Knife Thug is one of the few enemies that will
move towards you when they see you. They will patrol
an area and then when they see you, they will run
after you to try to stab you. If you jump over them,
they will throw their knife upwards at you. They will
just keep pulling knives out of their pocket so this
isn't going to make them any weaker, just keep note of
this when jumping over them.
_________________________________________________
Small Ninjas
_________________________________________________
Small ninjas are the hardest enemies you will fight against. They are the same
size as a thug but they are very quick and will block your lower level shuriken
attacks with their katanas. They will also always appear just out of the
background so you won't see them coming until they are already close. If you
have level 3 shurikens, just use those as they can't block them. If you don't
have level 3 shurikens, simply jump and use your katana up close to make quick
work of them.
ORANGE NINJA These ninjas can be a bit of a pain. They will run
towards you and when they get close, they will jump
making a sweeping attack with his sword. Try to run
under their jumps if they get close and attack them
from behind.
WHITE NINJA These ninjas are easier to avoid than the others. They
will simply spin with their katana along the ground.
If you have a level three shuriken, just duck and
throw one at them. If not, jump over them and throw
shurikens at them.
YELLOW NINJA These ninjas are pretty easy to kill. They will only
jump onto crates but if they are on a flat platform,
they will just run. They move really quickly and will
run towards you. When they get close, they will try
to attack you with their katana. If you jump over
them, they will turn around and jump back away from
you to gain some distance. They will then repeat that
strategy until one of you die.
_________________________________________________
Large Ninjas
_________________________________________________
Large ninjas are mainly tough because of their strength. They move rather
slowly so that's not an issue but their attacks can be devastating and hard to
dodge. They also take much longer to kill than any other enemy in the game. Try
to simply keep your distance and hit them with a couple of shurikens, then
quickly run. Repeat this process until they fall.
BOOMERANG NINJA The Boomerang Ninja is by far the easiest of the large
ninjas to deal with. They will throw a boomerang that
will fly forward and then back to them, as you would
expect. They will either throw it high towards your
head or low by your legs if you are crouching. Just
keep standing and only duck to avoid his boomerang.
Keep throwing shurikens while doing this to easily
kill him.
GUN NINJA These are what I personally believe are the toughest
enemies in the game. They will carry around a large
gun and shoot you with it. These travel quite quickly
making them fairly difficult to avoid as you will
likely be throwing shurikens as fast as you can at
them and you can't move while throwing them.
KATANA NINJA The Katana Ninja isn't too tough unless you get close.
They will swipe their katana and you will see two
puffs of purple smoke appear. These can be destroyed
with an attack from either your katana or your
shuriken but he will produce them quickly.
_________________________________________________
Miscellaneous
_________________________________________________
There are also a few enemies that don't pose much of a threat but can't be
categorized in any of the above enemy sections. They are all really weak so
they are easy to kill and are more annoying than dangerous. These will all
appear only in the latter stages of the game.
BAT These are some of the most annoying enemies you will
encounter in the game. They are small and hard to hit
so try to keep your distance and just throw shurikens
at them until you kill them. They will simply fly
towards you in a zig zag motion. If you don't kill
them, they will fly off the screen but will reappear
the next time you enter the room.
FROG The frogs are fairly annoying if there are other
enemies around you like thugs. They will just hop
around towards you and that's about it. The only pain
is that you have to crouch to hit them but some will
hop quicker than others so it will be hard to hit
them. If they get close, just use your katana to make
quick work of them.
SNAKE These aren't too annoying but can be a bit of a pain
when they appear on small platforms that you are
trying to jump on to. They will appear out of a small
hole in the background and on the edge of a platform
and just walk around on that platform. They die easy
and only real way to hurt you is to walk into you. Try
to kill these before landing on the platform and then
jump onto it.
SPIDER You will run into spiders as they hang from the
ceiling. They will hang from a short web and never
move making them easy kills. Their only attack is to
shoot a web downwards to the left and to the right.
They are only a threat if you are close to them.
TANK Tanks can be pretty threatening at first but aren't
too bad. They are those small yellow objects on tracks
and move back and forth. They can't hurt you by
touching them. Their only attack is to every now and
then shoot something up that will float down in both
directions. Just jump next to it in between its
attacks and attack it for an easy kill.
