Complete walkthrough for Ninja Gaiden 4's Part 81, guiding you through the Ice Cavern, Great Hall, Magma Lake, and See-Saw Room to find key items and defeat bosses.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the next area with a large pool. Dive in to find a Golden Scarab and a chest with a Life OTG.
  2. 2
    Enter the Cavern, go to the end, and jump down to a small enclosure. Kill the Ghost Fish with Flails, dive into the water, and emerge on the other side. Slide down the slope to a new area.
  3. 3
    AREA: THE GREAT HALL
  4. 4
    Upon landing, Pincer Fiends and Ogres will appear. You can fight them or use a Bird Flip on the nearby wall to reach the top ledge. Open the chest for a Life OTG. Enter the Ice Cavern.
  5. 5
    OBJECTIVE: FIND THE SHIELD OF VIGOOR
  6. 6
    Enter the area with a Save Point and a large doorway missing an item. Save your game. Jump down, kill the appearing enemies, and follow the path right. Climb up, turn right again, and break the ice to fall into a small ice enclosure with more enemies. Kill them and jump to the top cavern.
  7. 7
    AREA: RUINS
  8. 8
    Locate the SHIELD OF VIGOOR on the opposite side of the device used to make metal. Grab it and return to the door near the Save Point. Save your game and place the shield on the door to open it.
  9. 9
    AREA: MAGMA LAKE
  10. 10
    Enter the doorway into Magma Lake. Approach the large globe to obtain the STONE TABLET (LEFT). To kill Ogres in the magma, use a non-essence charged UT, keeping your distance. Use a Wall Run to cross magma gaps and drop to dry land.
  11. 11
    At the other end, you'll see a large gap and walls with hot smoke. Run up the wall above the smoke and shimmy right. Drop down and then jump to a small enclosure to fight Ogres. Kill them and continue.
  12. 12
    Slam the large step button to reveal floating platforms. Jump across them, past dinos, to the other side with a Muramasa Statue and Save Point. Save your game. Use a Wall-To-Wall Run on the wall enclosure next to Muramasa's Statue to enter another small area with Ogres. Eliminate them.
  13. 13
    Jump up to the doorway across from where you landed and enter the See-Saw Room.
  14. 14
    AREA: SEE-SAW ROOM
  15. 15
    Before jumping on the see-saw, jump down to the dry ledge on the right to find a Golden Scarab (#46). Jump on the see-saw.
  16. 16
    Let the see-saw go all the way down. Run to the top and jump to the upper room before the weight shifts. In the upper cavern, destroy the Ghost Fish. Exit the room. Approach the large boiling pot to make it pour hot Iron Ore onto the other side.
  17. 17
    Use the see-saw to reach the room above the exit door. Open the chest inside. Make your way back to the Ice Cavern. Save your game at Magma Lake first.
  18. 18
    AREA: ICE CAVERN
  19. 19
    Return to the Ruins (where you found the SHIELD OF VIGOOR) to find the COG OF VIGOOR.
  20. 20
    Next to where you find the COG OF VIGOOR is a Save Point. The Golden Scarab (#47) is across from the Save Point. Save your game. Approach the ice chunk in the corner and slam it down to enter a new area.
  21. 21
    BOSS BATTLE: YOTUNFRAU (VERY HARD MODE NOTE: White pincer fiends assist.)
  22. 22
    After exiting Yotunfrau's cavern, use a Bird Flip to reach the top. Flip over the ledge and drop down to catch the next ledge. Jump up and open the chest for a goodie, then drop down. Bird Flip to the top and return to the Magma Cavern.
  23. 23
    AREA: MAGMA LAKE
  24. 24
    Go to the Save Point area, save your game, and replenish stock at Muramasa's Statue. Place the COG OF VIGOOR on the door next to the Save Point and enter for the next boss battle.
  25. 25
    BOSS BATTLE: FLAME WORM X3 (VERY HARD MODE NOTE: Three Flame Worms.)
  26. 26
    Stock up and save your game. Across from Magma Lake is a large ledge with a doorway featuring a face. Slam the step button to raise floating platforms, then run and jump up to the face door. Place the EYE OF ICE and EYE OF FLAME on the door to open it.
  27. 27
    Approach the mantle and grab the DEVIL DIETY statue to trigger the next boss battle.
  28. 28
    BOSS BATTLE: SMAUGAN (VERY HARD MODE NOTE: Red dinos assist on top and bottom floors.)
