Master Part 35 of the Ninja Gaiden 2 Black walkthrough. Learn strategies to defeat Zedonius and Volf, and navigate the Forest of Shadows with new enemy guides.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Boss Battle: Zedonius - Part Two
    Zedonius uses the same attacks as before. Be aware that his attacks can knock Ryu into the lava, causing significant health loss. Stay close to Zedonius and use aggressive melee combos. Be fast but also defensive.
  2. 2
    Objective: Watch out for Exploding Jelly Fish
    After defeating Zedonius, do not immediately cross the lava water to the exit. Several Exploding Jelly Fish are hidden in the water and will cause a Game Over if you run directly towards the exit. Grab arrows from a nearby dead body and shoot approximately 10-12 jelly fish. Then, cautiously run towards the exit in a zigzag pattern, as a few may still remain.
  3. 3
    Save and Stock Up
    Approach the Save Statue to replenish health. Open the chest for Red Essence. Exit the cavern to find Muramasa's Statue. Stock up on items and save your game.
  4. 4
    Area: Forest of Shadows
    Enter the foggy area and encounter a new enemy: Marionette Spiders.
  5. 5
    New Enemy: Marionette Spiders
    These robotic spider enemies have laser attacks and slicing combos. Use hard combos to the face and ON-LAND CHARGES to weaken them. Ultimate Techniques are not effective. Keep slashing until they are defeated.
  6. 6
    Clearing the Mid-Forest Area
    Eliminate all Marionette Spiders. As you approach the other side of the forest, more will appear. To avoid fighting them, dash back to the Save Statue and save your game. When you return, the spiders will have disappeared.
  7. 7
    Continue Out of the Forest
    Proceed down the empty pathway to encounter another new enemy: Centaurs.
  8. 8
    New Enemy: Centaur
    Similar to Samurai Horsemen from the first game, Centaurs charge and attack. Let them approach you. Block their spear attack and counter with a hard combo as they turn.
  9. 9
    Boss Battle: Volf - Part Two
    Volf appears with Centaurs. Evade Volf's Scythe attacks and stay close. Dash in and use aggressive combos when he misses. If Centaurs obstruct your view, use Wind Blades to clear them and maintain focus on Volf. Aggressive close-combat is key.
  10. 10
    Chapter 13: The Underworld Abyss
    After defeating Volf, grab the HEART OF BESTIAL STORM from his body and exit the arena. Approach Muramasa's Statue and stock up on health items for upcoming battles.
  11. 11
    Area: Antechamber #1
    Enter the doorway to encounter Marionette Spiders.
  12. 12
    Area: Antechamber #2
    More Marionette Spiders will ambush you. Use Wind Blades.
Tips
  • For Zedonius, staying close and aggressive is key, but always be ready to defend.
  • Be extremely cautious when crossing the lava after Zedonius; use arrows to clear jelly fish from a distance before proceeding.
  • When fighting Marionette Spiders, ON-LAND CHARGES followed by hard combos are effective.
  • For Centaurs, blocking their charge and countering is the most efficient strategy.
  • Against Volf, prioritize evading his scythe attacks and then counter with aggressive combos.
  • HEART OF BESTIAL STORM (from Volf)
  • Red Essence (from chest)
