How to unlock the Restore Balance achievement in MINI NINJAS - Definitive Guide

This guy is a pain (especially on 'hard' difficulty), this is because he has purple energy balls that act as a shield to protect him from physical attacks.

!! Kuji magic is the only thing that will work against him !!

** NOTE: Be sure to kill his minions for a Ki boost when you are running low or (like me) before you enter the battle create numerous Ginseng and health potions, so you can recharge and heal up quickly. **

The most efficient way to beat him is as follows:

When you first enter the battle hit him with the 'meteor storm' spell, this will destroy some of the purple energy balls and turn them red, meaning he is angry.

He will keep sending shadow balls out to turn animals into his Samurai warriors, on occasions he will also send one shadow ball directly at you after creating his samurai.

Attack the shadow ball and it will send it back to him, thus disorientating him for just enough time for you to send another 'Meteor Storm' spell in his direction. Again this will destroy some more of the purple energy balls surrounding him.

After you have done this he will start to chase you with the 'Ice Storm' spell. The best way to combat this is to keep running around the platform untill he stops and floats down just above the floor, this is the time to hit him with another 'Meteor Storm' spell to destroy a few more of his purple energy balls.

Keep casting the 'Meteor Storm' on him untill you destroy the majority of the purple energy balls.

This time he will come at you with the lightning spell (he will hit you 1-2 times, nothing you can do about that), just be ready to heal when you do get hit as it will kill you quickly).

As with his previous spell running is the only real solution to avoid being hit. An aid to this is the 'Slow Time' spell. Using this will slow him down and give you time to heal up when you get hit, and allow you to dodge most of the lightning.

Keep running untill he floats down to just above the floor again, then attack him with as many 'Meteor Storm' spells as you can fit in before he sends another shadow ball at you.

Deflect the shadow ball back to disorientate him again and finish him off with a final 'Meteor Storm'.

** Whenever you see him send a shadow ball at you ALWAYS attack it to deflect it back to disorientate him, giving you more time to cast more 'Meteor Storm' spells on him. **

This made it sound hard, but honestly I did it on my first try on hard with very little difficulty. Just cast meteor storm a lot and dodge his spells. 3 or 4 minutes. Achievement unlocked.

And if you don't have meteor storm? Will Lightning work?

Another plug for this being pretty easy on hard. I didn't use many spells throughout the game, basically just hack-and-slashing my way through, so I had 30 restore Kuji spells by the end of the last level. Cast Meteor Storm, refill Kuji, recast...dodge.

I beat him in about 5 minutes using about 10 Kuji potions and about 5 Healing Potions.

Yeah this is easy as long as you have Meteor Storm. It's very easy to get Meteor Storm too it's on Volcano's Shadow level and about 5 minutes in.

I wouldn't recommend doing this without Meteor Storm. I tried it and it was PAINFUL. Get Meteor Storm and it's a breeze.

Lightning Storm worked fine for me, also use flask of arrow shield as it auto repels his shadow ball

Does anyone know exactly where the meteor shower is? All I have is the lighting and I have 5 flasks of ginseng and 2 heal potions and everytime I get him to 3 balls and starts shooting lighting I instantly die. Even if I put up the armor shield it doesn't seem to do anything. Getting really frustrated with this game and worried about back tracking to another level to get the meteor shower and having the game glitch

You need to use the Kuji Magic as Hiro in order to defeat the Evil Samurai Warlord.

I used the Meteor Strike magic, you have to aim it on the big spheres that are circling him.

You can pick up blue spheres to refill your stamina meter to continue using the Kuji Magic.

Once you have depleted his health and beaten him the trophy will unlock.

Will unlock on Level 22

Story related and cannot be missed.

He's the toughest of all bosses, but you are tougher!
No button sequence this time... Kuji Magic is the key!
First, you will want to equip all the 'Storm'-like spells that you can access by pressing while in combat.

Be sure to have enough Flasks of Strong Ginseng, and enough Healing Potions or anything else that can restore your health (sushi, honeycomb, ...)
This boss his health is also his defence. The balls spinning around him, are his shield. Destroying those balls, will lower his health as well!
General tips:

  • Keep an eye on your health at all times!
  • Kill the minions as soon as possible, as they'll only get in your way
  • When you see the purple-black magic coming to you, swing your sword to send it back to him (as with the mages in the game, remember?). This will stun him for a while.
  • Beware when he's lifted, as he will have special attacks. His lightning attacks can hurt you badly!
  • When he's lifted, sprint by holding across the edges of the map to avoid being hit by his special attacks for most of the time


The way I did it: I only used Meteor Storm to attack the spinning balls. Immediately I recharged my Ki energy by selecting the Flask of Strong Ginseng from my inventory by pressing . If I had a new opportunity, I used the Meteor Storm immediately again, otherwise I was killing the minions.
Once he was lifted, I ran around the map holding (got hit a few times though, but immediately drank a healing potion). As soon as he was back on the ground in the middle, I ran up to him and used the Meteor Storm again. Keep repeating this strategy a few times, and his spinning balls should be destroyed after 3-4 Meteor Storm attacks.

Story achievement. Final boss. The main thing in fighting him is that you have the last scroll of the Meteor Shower spell. And 10 flasks each for HP and CHI. As soon as the battle begins, cast a meteor shower under the boss while pebbles from the sky hit him, you can kill small enemies or drink a bottle to restore Chi, then again, a meteor shower under the boss, when the boss takes off, run around the perimeter from him and heal if necessary. You can ignore small enemies. Repeat until you win. As soon as the boss falls, you will receive an achievement.
