Guys,
The update to fix the chapter 10 and 14 cutscene hang has been released.
So now you can safely play your NG2 while online on LIVE!

That's great to hear , coz Ive just started NG 2 again .

never passed mission at 5-6

Bro leenaz not persistent enough

i hate playing at statue of liberty
never passed the boss
demmit...i think i tried more than 30 times edi wooo

i kinda hate that game, cause never lepas..
it takes me keep trying and trying sampai lenguh tangan..

Alexei is quite easy. His combos might look flashy but try to use Reverse Wind as much as possible until you hit the time where he just finish off his combo, then start putting your own combo onto it.
If he does the whirlwind trick, then it is either you ninpo or Reverse Wind to avoid it.

That is the best part of the game

too bad i finish the game last week.

Personal tips for Chapter 4 mid boss (not Alexei). It is a big fat monster you fight on a bridge.

* Stay in front of him and lure him to only use his one handed slam, one hand grab, or the howling blast.
* When it is going to howl, he will move 2 step in front. So when you see that, dash to the right twice and while he is howling, put a nice combo onto his hands. If you got hit by his howling blast, you are dead. It is a one-shot death (Master Ninja difficulty).
* If he raises his hands in a horizontal direction, he is going for the one hand grab and try to dash away from it. If you got grab, you might lose 80% of your health.
* A good time to hit him would be when he does the one hand slam. Everytime he does it, the attack can either be blocked (yes it is blockable despite the size of his arm) and can be avoided (dash). It would be better to dash away and unleash a combo on his hand since the recovery from a dash is faster than a block.
* Remember to remain in a place in front of the monster. Do not ever go underneath it to slash its legs. He will do the whole body slam which is hard to avoid and 2 hit from it and you're dead.

Hope this helps whoever is going through the game. It is possible to beat this boss without a single drop of health point. I can beat it 30% of the time so i guess the above tips is considered to be quite feasible judging by how difficult Master Ninja is.

Anyway, do remember is that after the boss fight, you will have to deal with yellow winged fiends (a lot of em) and there is only a save point after your defeated all of them and a couple of IS ninjas. If you die along the way, it is back to the boss

alexi...alexi..
lost again

Just spam Flying Swallow on Alexei and you will eventually kill him.
Cheap but effective.

Stuck on chapter3 boss (mentor mode) for 1 week... about to give up.
This game is too hard for me. I can forget about master ninja mode...

Well to defeat this boss, it is actually quite easy.
First of all when the battle starts charge up a level 2 and hit its face.
Then when he turn into the left side of the tunnel, move forward and jump dash into the middle of the tunnel and start charging another level 2 arrow at its face.
Just keep repeating and try to stay in the middle of the tunnel since the boss tends to shoot electricity/cast of its underlings and shoot the big blue face in the middle section.

So if technically if you are behind the boss and the face starts shooting electricity balls, you are safe.
And if it shoots out the big blue face which causes a massive explosion, use a ninpo to void the attack and deal damage to the boss instead.

Hope this helps

the test of valor mentor mode is insane

You have a choice not to do it

come on, the hp bar is already shrinked alot in mentor mode. if skipped valor trials... how to fight all the way to last boss?
u know, I still have 3 life of thousands gods not used...
I bet the hp bar in master ninja mode is shorter than mentor mode..

I am down to the last chapter 14 in Master Ninja without having to use a single LoTG which means that my lifebar is the same length as when i first started the game.
Seriously to me, i think the Trials of Valor is only made as a supplement to the game for a higher challenge.
Other than that i wont be wasting time on it.
Maybe i will when i decided to do my No-Melee run on the game.

U must be a super awesome ninja gaiden player(I bet u have spent lots of times on this game)!!!
U have my salutes.
playing chapter 5 now... after so many retries.
I m going to do some trials as I need the LOTGs.

Finally completed the Path of the Master Ninja.
Looking back along the way, it has really been a difficult journey and probably one that i would never forget.
The amount of Game Over and the splattering of blood will forever be etch in my memories.

The Tribal Spirit costume looks really cool! One of the best costumes that comes with the game.

And the best of all is probably the Master Ninja gamer pic that is unlocked.
