Complete walkthrough for Ninja Gaiden 4's Part 36, guiding you through Chapter 17: Vengeful Spirit, including solving the Pyramid puzzle and finding the Griffon, Lion, and Lioness Keys.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Alma Boss Fight Strategy: Evade Alma's attacks and maintain distance. When she lands, use a well-timed Flying Swallow or charged Ultimate Technique (UT) to knock her down. Once she's down, use a strong combo like Dragon Tear to deal significant damage. Repeat this process.
  2. 2
    Chapter 17: Vengeful Spirit - Objective: Solve the Pyramid Puzzle: Equip the Dabilahro. Approach the temple and smash the large crack to reveal a doorway. Enter and go downstairs to face Knightmares. Defeat three Knightmares by using the Dabilahro for non-stop counterattacks, as their regular attacks won't break your guard. After they transform into black versions, repeat the tactic. Once all three are defeated, collect the SERPENT DIETY statue and exit the Pyramid.
  3. 3
    Area: Outer Pyramid: Proceed down the grassy path to the open doorway. The GRIFFON DOOR is locked. Head towards the other open doorway with the Save Point. Save your game and visit Muramasa's Statue to restock.
  4. 4
    Objective: Find the Griffon Key: Go past Muramasa's Statue to a glowing portal. Enter the portal to the Hellish Depths.
  5. 5
    Area: Hellish Depths: In this small arena, defeat all the Shadow Fiends that swarm you. A chest will appear containing the GRIFFON KEY. Collect the key and teleport back. Return to the GRIFFON DOOR and use the key to unlock it.
  6. 6
    Area: The Labyrinth 1: As you enter, prepare to fight Ghost Fish. Equip the Flails and use a jump attack followed by a continuous combo upon landing. After defeating the Ghost Fish, enter the alcove between the walls to find a chest containing a Life of the Gods. Continue down the path, go up the stairs, and climb the upper stairs. You'll find a chest with a Devil Elixir and a dead body. Search the body for an item and proceed past the LION DOOR.
  7. 7
    Objective: Find the Lion Key: Equip the Flails and go to the end of the path to find a chest containing the LION KEY. After picking it up, Ghost Fish will attack from behind. Defeat them, then a trio of Catwomen will ambush you. Use Explosive Arrows to shoot them mid-air while evading. After they are defeated, another ambush will occur with more Catwomen and a Crab Fiend. Use Explosive Arrows and your weapons to defeat them. Head to the LION DOOR and enter the next area.
  8. 8
    Area: Labyrinth 2: Upon entering through the LION DOOR, turn left and go to the end of the path to find a Golden Scarab. Return and go the other way. Ascend the stairs and use the Save Point to save your game. To the left of the Save Point, in a small alcove, is a chest containing a Life of the Gods. Continue down the next path. Avoid the open area with the LIONESS DOOR and take the long path to the right. Defeat the Ghost Fish encountered here and continue. More Ghost Fish will appear further down; defeat them and proceed to the end of the path.
  9. 9
    Objective: Find the Lioness Key: Enter the large alcove across from Muramasa's Statue to find a Golden Scarab. Behind this location is another alcove with a chest. Proceed to the next alley, defeat the Ghost Fish, and approach the chest at the very end of the path to find the LIONESS KEY. Return to the Save Point, defeating any Fish in your way. Approach the wide open area with the LIONESS DOOR. Upon entering, you will be ambushed by Ghost Fish and two Crab Fiends. Use aerial combos with the Flails for the Fish and UT's or Flying Swallow attacks on the Crab Fiends.
Tips
  • For the Alma fight, focus on evasion and use the Flying Swallow or charged UT when she lands.
  • Against Knightmares, exploit their slow guard break by using continuous Dabilahro counterattacks.
  • When fighting Ghost Fish, a jump attack followed by a continuous combo with the Flails is effective.
  • For Catwomen and Crab Fiends, Explosive Arrows are highly effective, especially when combined with evasive maneuvers and other weapons.
  • Against the final ambush of Ghost Fish and Crab Fiends in Labyrinth 2, prioritize aerial combos for the Fish and use UT's or Flying Swallow for the Crab Fiends.
