Complete walkthrough for Part 17 of Ninja Gaiden Black, covering Chapter 5: The Aqua Capital, including objectives, new enemies, and item locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin the mission and clear out the initial ninjas and Warlocks using Obliterations and Ultimates.
- 2Proceed to a Muramasa Statue to stock up if needed.
- 3Continue up the bridge and turn left down a stairway to find a dead body with the KUSARI-GAMA. Do not equip it yet.
- 4Across from the dead body, go down a small set of stairs to the canal. Use Water Run to reach the gondola on the far side to find CRYSTAL SKULL #10.
- 5As you return to dry land, new enemies, SILVER GAJA (gorgon-type snakes), will appear. Avoid water combat; fight them on dry land using Izuna Drop for instant kills.
- 6Head back to the small bridge to encounter LYCANTHROPE WEREWOLVES. Use hard combos and Ultimates to defeat them.
- 7In the Marketplace area, clear out more wolves using Wind Blades Ninpo and Obliterations. Approach the Save Statue in the alley.
- 8In the Outdoor Restaurant, werewolves will attack. Use hard combos and Ultimates for Obliteration.
- 9After clearing the restaurant, find CRYSTAL SKULL #11 on a table near the door you entered.
- 10Leaving the restaurant, more wolves will appear. Eliminate them and take the alleyway to the right to find a chest with an item. Continue down the main path.
- 11On Pantheon Path, another group of wolves will emerge from a bridge. Defeat them.
- 12Take the small bridge where the wolves emerged to find a dead body with the SPIRIT OF THE DEVILS item. Equip it for enhanced Ninpo attacks.
- 13Continue up the path towards a giant water fountain to encounter more Gaja. Use Izuna Drops for easy kills.
- 14To find the alternate route, dive into the water near the fountain and look for an open gap. A chest next to the gap contains the GATLING GUN sub-weapon. Swim to the other side of the canal.
- 15Emerge from the water but avoid running on it immediately due to EXPLODING JELLYFISH. Equip the Gatling Gun and shoot them down from a distance.
- 16Once the jellyfish are cleared, proceed to the next area. You will encounter more Gaja. To fight them effectively while on the water, get on a nearby gondola. Wait for the Gaja to approach and use Izuna Drop for an instant kill. Repeat this process using the boat.
Tips
- When fighting Alexei, use the Divine Swallow attack to get close, then block, evade, and counter with hard combos. Maintain non-stop aggression and stay close to prevent him from creating distance and using unblockable attacks.
- When fighting Silver Gaja, always seek dry surfaces and use the Izuna Drop for an instant kill.
- When fighting Lycanthrope Werewolves, use hard combos followed by Ultimates.
- When fighting Exploding Jellyfish, use the Gatling Gun from a safe distance to destroy them before they detonate.
- When fighting Gaja on the water, use gondolas as a platform to safely execute Izuna Drops.
