Tips
  • For Genshin, always block and never let your guard down. Strike when he uses Shadow Rush or misses the Flying Swallow attack. Counter with an X, Y, Y combo.
  • Be aggressive against Van Gelfs, sticking to close-combat and countering their punches.
  • Mini-Dragons are weak but annoying; use the Fiend's Bane Bow to dispatch them quickly.
  • Defeating Genshin completes the mission.
  • Finding the Art of the Wind Blades scroll grants a new Ninpo.
  • Collecting Crystal Skull #5 contributes to finding all collectibles.
