+jeremiahjt Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I am having trouble with the level 2 triple stacked bosses when they return in level 4. Their roll attack now kills in one hit and their regular swipe now kills in two hits. Anybody got any hints for beating these guys the second time around? Also how much longer is the game after these guys? I heard that there was only 4 levels in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenLynxer Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Ninja Gaiden has just 4 levels, that's correct. The last boss, the mighty Dark Lord, awaits you right after you have defeated these three clawed ninjas for the second time. It's not easy to beat them, but I recommend you try to find a sword, it will help a lot! Actually the Dark Lord is more easy to defeat than this ninja triumvirate.

2d gamer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Below are some tips I suggest: 1. Like the Mega Man games, free-lives appear randomly. This means that on some games, you may get lucky and attain tons of free guys. On the other hand, you may have bad luck on a game and find only a scant few. To improve your chances of securing as many free-lives as possible, smash all the phone booths and boxes you can find. 2. When you fight the "blade brothers" the second time, as you know, it can be difficult. Avoid ground attacks like punching/kicking because this will only send them into their flying blade attack. I like to use throws as much as possible. If the 3 enemies are clumped together, you can sometimes send 2 or 3 flying with one throw! A throw doles about as much damage as three/four punches, and it will not take long for them to go down. 3. I posted an FAQ for this game on gamefaqs.com if you are interested to know more.

+jeremiahjt Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 I just wanted to give an update on this thread; I still cannot beat this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Well I finally did it. I defeated Ninja Gaiden. I did it without using a continue, but I was down to my last life with only two boxes left on my life meter. I managed to beat the end boss without being hit once. I am not for sure, but I would bet that even one hit by him would have taken off both my life boxes I had left and I know the Blade Brothers would have killed me with one more hit. The Dark Lord breathes fire as an attack, I did not know that. How many types of attacks does he have? The ending is terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendocon Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 By luck, I got a sword powerup before fighting the Ninja Trio and the final boss. I knew it would only last so long, and I managed to win before it wore off. That was only once though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripled79 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I recently tried this game. I can't figure out how to jump up to the pipes on level one. What is the trick to jumping high enough to reach the pipe? After many attempts all I do is jump to my death... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a little while since I played, but I believe you have to press the option 1 button. Edited January 1, 2023 by jeremiahjt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
