NINJA GAIDEN II

Ok, Let's start with this.
If you just want those achievements for all tests of valor and you are a beginner in this game i recommend you to finish the game on acolyte then start a new game+ so you can finish those ToV's very simple because you'll have more HP, more ninpo shoots and your ninpo will be better.

For those who don't know how to find a test of valor... You need to pick up an item "Rod of Trials" that's in chapter 2. After first save point in this chapter there will be a fight around old japanesse looking houses, when you kill all oncoming enemies (a lot of them if i have good memory :D ) You'll see a quick scene with sentence " Candle started shining" or sth like this, jump to this place and pick it up.

So... 1st Test of Valor that gives you "One of White" achievement it's in 3rd chapter, For those who never seen it, it's blue shining circle on the ground (usually save point is very near) just get into it and activate test of valor. On 3rd chapter is nearby last save before the metro where you fight couple of ninjas and later demons. You need to wallrun and jump to it, i think you can't miss it ;] You will see it from the bridge that leads to save.

Ok, time for a fight.
Enemies in this Test of Valor are: Fire Mages, Black Spider Clan sword and claw ninjas.

The main weapon i was using during playing is Lunar Staff
(This weapon just rule !!! don't use dragon sword because it's weak...). So ! When you got lunar staff on lvl 3, try to focus on mage first, just jump towards them and click x+y, you should make an Izuna Drop which kills this guy instantly and make you immortal for those few seconds,and when you land sometimes it kills other guys. After 1 of 2 izuna drops you should as fast as you land make an 360 circle with your analog and hold y (absorb yellow essence) then release, that's gonna make an 360 UT which is best move of this weapon...( I know it's hard at the beginning, you can practice it where you don't have enemies, just repeat it untill you do it perfectly :D - It's main technique to beat almost whole game... same for izuna drop ) Does huuuge damage, kill many opponents, while Ryu is doing this tap Y so at the end he'll finish UT with Izuna Drop on 1 poor enemy :D. Just repeat it over and over again. If you kill all of those mages it's become very easy cuz there are only simple ninjas left, you can block their attacks if you want, dash them, windpath above them... but what for? just do an 360 all the time and izuna drops :D will make it good for you.

When mage is trying to make an magic attack he'll got surrounded with white japanesse symbols, try to throw shuriken at them, or hit them as fast as you can because you don't want to be hit by an fire shot, or underground volcano, altought it's very simple to dash them :)

Oh and the good point in tests of valors it's that you can use all ninpos you got, because when you finish ToV, you got health and ninpo meter replenished.

So when last enemy dies, chest should appear, i think it's talisman of rebirth or live of 1000 gods in this chest. don't remember :D
