Ninja Gaiden 2 Black: Chapter 6 Walkthrough
Crystal Skull #1 Location
As the chapter unfolds, characters will encounter a pack of werewolves. Players should swiftly eliminate these foes and ascend the nearby stairs before veering left at the fork. This path leads to a river where a gondola containing the first Crystal Skull is located. Utilizing the water run ability will allow players to effortlessly acquire this collectible.
Obtaining Dragon’s Claw and Tiger’s Fang
Next, retrace your steps to the fork and take the alternate route to cross the bridge while combating any enemies encountered. Beyond the bridge lies a series of market stalls. After defeating the werewolves in this area, proceed along the corridor to reach a save station. Interacting with the body found near the save point will grant players the Dragon’s Claw and Tiger’s Fang weapons.
Crystal Skull #2 Location
After saving, exit through the adjacent door into an outdoor seating area. At the start of this new zone, to the right, a table holds a Crystal Skull. Players should collect it while combating any werewolves that appear in the vicinity.
Spirit of the Devils Retrieval
Continuing from the restroom area, players should traverse a small bridge and defeat the werewolves waiting at the other end. Players can turn right into an alcove housing a chest containing an Herb of Spiritual Life. Conversely, they may also head straight to reach another alcove holding blue orbs.
Upon collecting the blue orbs, players should backtrack, cross the bridge, and move right towards the stone pillars. Just beyond these pillars lies a body, interaction with which grants the Spirit of the Devils item.
Crystal Skull #3 Retrieval
In this segment, players will enter a confined arena, tasked with combating waves of enemies that emerge. Upon vanquishing them, jump down to the base of the central fountain and use the opening to access the river.
In the river, players should run along the water until reaching a dead end marked by a metal fence. Before hitting this barrier, an alcove on the left offers a chance to dive and discover a hidden Crystal Skull.
Acquiring the Art of the Piercing Void
Players should backtrack slightly to discover a metal fence with an opening. Diving through lets them navigate the water until reaching yet another hole in a fence. This will guide players to a gondola leading to a room containing another save station.
After defeating the enemies present, make sure to ascend the stairs leading to a chest housing The Art of the Piercing Void, a powerful Ninpo spell.
Life of the Gods #1 Location
Players should now pass through the door adjacent to the chest, then turn right towards a statue for item purchases and weapon upgrades. Continuing in the opposite direction will take them along a path teeming with enemies until reaching a ledge opposite two green lights.
The task here involves hitting those green lights with arrows to lower a bridge. Once activated, players should leap onto the crates and use the pole to reach the platform across the water where a chest containing a Life of the Gods is located.
Lives of the Thousand Gods Retrieval
After acquiring the first Life of the Gods, players should drop into the river below and execute a water run until they reach two large waterwheels. A platform adjacent to the left waterwheel allows players to climb up, and they should grab onto a beam and ride it to the top.
At the top, hop onto the wooden platform and use the horizontal cog to access a room. Here, there is a curved pipe spinning above. Climbing onto it will lead to another chest holding the Lives of the Thousand Gods.
Jewel of the Demon Seal Location
Next, players can exit through the door located at the first floor to find a courtyard teeming with werewolves. After defeating these foes, they should return to the building they just exited, utilize the save point, and engage the enemies within.
Proceed to an intersection shortly after transitioning through the opening; turning right will lead to a chest containing the Jewel of the Demon Seal.
Collecting the Howling Cannon
Descending further into the building while eliminating encountered enemies will eventually guide players to a small room holding a body with the powerful Howling Cannon weapon. After collecting it, ascend the stairs beyond this room to find another chest containing yellow orbs.
Life of the Gods #2 Location
Players should now trace their steps back, noticing that a gate has opened in the corridor used initially to access the Howling Cannon room. Following this new path leads to a circular stone platform with wood at the center. Execute a heavy jumping attack to break through the wood.
Players will find themselves in a water-filled area where they should make a save point then proceed to eliminate spectral fish. Diving into the center of the stone circle leads to a tunnel to another submerged area.
In this area, head towards the back-left corner, where two closely standing rows of columns conceal another chest underwater. Access it by diving to uncover another Life of the Gods.
Triggering the Boss Battle
Once all collectibles have been acquired, inspect the water-filled expanse and ensure every spectral fish has been defeated. Subsequent to this action, a cutscene will unfold, culminating in a confrontation with the pivotal Chapter 6 adversary: the Water Dragon.
Strategies to Defeat the Boss
Players must now concentrate on vanquishing the formidable Water Dragon. An effective method is to equip the newly acquired Howling Cannon and persistently aim it directly at the dragon’s face. To minimize damage from the dragon’s various attacks, players are advised to employ the following strategies:
- Perpendicular Wave: The dragon may occasionally slam its head to create a forward wave. Evading sideways will help players avoid this attack.
- Parallel Wave: When the dragon emits a wave along the length of Ryu’s platform, evading ahead of its impact will keep players safe.
- Missiles: While avoiding the dragon’s missile assault can be tricky, players can reduce the damage taken by dodging and jumping.
- Spectral Fish: Quick light attacks are effective against any spectral fish dispatched by the dragon.
