More cinematic cuts, a darker castle, and the same bird problem with extra clones. The Dark Sword path is a resource fight. Sub-weapons still beat a pretty slash.

Tips

  • Start here

    Keep the Fire Dragon

    The circling fire is the only sub-weapon that earns its ninpo. Don't fight on the edge of a moving platform. Slash-down is still the movement.

  • Advanced

    Clones are a timer

    The shadow clones eat the clock. Clear a platform, move, don't combo-hunt. Save ninpo for the last act; the early bosses are whipable.
