Twin Snakes Strategy
Stay calm; while this battle may appear daunting, you have the skills to prevail. I’ve organized a comprehensive Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound guide into sections focused on your strategy during different phases of the encounter: tackling the blue snake, the purple snake, and finally, both snakes working in unison.
Dealing with the Blue Snake
Patience is key when you face off against the Blue Snake. Being overly aggressive can lead to unfortunate mishaps, like stepping into flames. The Blue Snake will release four orbs in various predetermined locations, which adds a layer of unpredictability. Understand where to position yourself for both offense and defense.
Focus on waiting for the right moments to deal damage. The first time you execute a hypercharged attack won’t trigger a sneak attack from the Purple Snake, allowing you a chance for risk-free damage. Nevertheless, remain vigilant for subsequent hypercharged attacks!
Dealing with the Purple Snake
Navigating the Purple Snake’s attacks requires finesse, but your patience will indeed pay off. Remember, when employing your hypercharged attack against the Purple Snake, the Blue Snake is primed to launch its counter-attack. You can sidestep this assault and retaliate against the Blue Snake for additional damage. Focus on dodging or parrying the orbs while keeping a suitable distance from the fiery breath attacks.
Dealing with Both Snakes
While the screen may appear chaotic, mastering their attack patterns will lead to your success. Employing your projectile attacks is crucial; this allows you to maintain distance while still damaging both snakes effectively.
Utilizing your Kunai Barrage Ragebound attack will ensure that you deal significant damage from a safe range. I activated this skill when the snakes were at roughly 30% health, which enabled me to finish them off efficiently.
