How to unlock the Step towards Ninja Mastery achievement in NINJA GAIDEN 2 Black - Definitive Guide
hello everyone I just recently got this achievement and would like to add some general tips and what i would recommend for master ninja as well as going over how to deal with some bosses
Basics: if this is your first master ninja run you will need to know that a UT(Ultimate technique) will make you the most money and health and Ninpo essence will drop if u kill without executing or UT
Weapons: I would recommend upgrading the Lunar Staff, Enma's Fangs and the Scythe I don't recommend upgrading the dragon sword it will automatically be upgraded to a level 4 on chapter 14 i should also mention to learn some techniques like the Izuna Drop dragon sword for example





Genshin: this boss is not really difficult but try to avoid jumping when fighting him you will encounter him 4 times through your playthrough just make sure to have your dragon sword make sure to be blocking and when he is done with his combos do 2-3
rinse and repeat for all encounters
Alexi: this boss might be your first major barrier on trying to progress through the game he can be very difficult he is very grabby so try to avoid any grab attacks and the first fight with him don't be scared to use your talisman of rebirth there is another in chapter 6 but i recommend the dragon sword again same thing with Genshin except u want to be dodging more and Alexi does have the flying swallow Technique so be wary and when his health is low enough he will spam it up to 3 times
Chapter 5: I'm cover some points in this chapter try and get as much money as possible in this chapter because you will not be playing Ryu the Shrine Maiden only has 1 weapon so after u cross the bridge with a few enemies you will hit introduced to a gauntlet of enemies where the door locked behind you stay in the corner get your UT ready to deal with the enemies try and deal with the mages first if you can you will then be hit with a mini boss after the gauntlet avoid his grab attacks they are fatal and i don't attack with no more than 3
attacks fast forward to end of the level you will be hit with another gauntlet i wouldn't use more than 2 small heals and 1 big heal now the main boss instead you have 2 bosses same thing as the mini boss just take your time your small
attacks and keep your eyes on both of them
Volf: this guy is pretty easy honestly just use a 360 UT with the lunar staff and he will go down pretty quick
Chapter 8: you are now playing Rachel honestly the worst part is the elevator segment stand in 1 of the corners of the elevator and use her UT and get ready for the next set of enemies
Zedonius: hopefully you been using your Ninpos because i would recommend to have your inferno at least at a level 2 to deal with the lackys and hopefully Enma fangs is also at level 2 by this point if not no big deal but you're going to be in this boss fight a little longer only thing that's annoying about this guy when he is in the air and goes off screen get ready to dodge and jump to avoid his slam attack and i would use Enma fangs UT to take him down his second encounter recommend same thing except change your weapon to the lunar staff and use 360 UT
Black Dragon: this boss just be carful he is very fast i use a 360 UT with the Lunar staff but you can also use the twin swords if that doesn't suite you
Elizébet: for the first encounter use Enma fangs UT just watch out for her health steal hits u 3 or more times you are most likely dead second encounter with her use Genshin dead body as a barrier and use the scythe i never upgraded this to a 3 level 2 should be good enough and use the UT while she is stuck on the dead body
Final boss: i recommend using the blade of the archfiend using few heavy attacks watch out for his grabs be sure to jump out of there when you use 2-3
attacks and when he uses his beam that comes from his head instead of dodging way dash through you wont take damage for going through
congrats you are now a Master Ninja i don't usually make guides so any comments to help make this guide better please let me know

Hello everyone! I managed to get this achievement in a relatively fast time, there is no guide or anything like that for it, it's another tip to "make it easier" for her
First: I recommend using the double katana because it has a very high DPS (damage per second) for the speed of the attacks, and the scythe (level 3) because it has a very good area damage
Second: I recommend using a ninja gaiden sig 2 speedrun to speed up and optimize your time a lot
Third and last: I highly recommend that the person train before doing this difficulty, the parry and combos of both weapons mentioned. It will make a huge difference against boss and the huge amounts of enemies.
I hope I helped in some way. Good luck!

Until it's fixed, there's a pretty good glitch that allows you to take down Elizabeth in the final chapter without any hassle.
As soon as Genshin is killed and the boss fight begins, stand so that Genshin's corpse lies between you and Elizabeth. Then bait her at melee attacks, because through Genshin's corpse her attacks cannot reach you. Take the scythe in your hands, charge it to maximum and let go. So until victory.
