Complete Part 35 of the Ninja Gaiden II walkthrough. Learn strategies to defeat Zedonius and Volf, and navigate the Forest of Shadows.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the initial battle, you face Zedonius again. He uses the same attacks as before, but his attacks can now knock Ryu into the lava, causing significant damage. Stay close to Zedonius and use aggressive melee combos, but remain defensive.
  2. 2
    After defeating Zedonius, be cautious of the exit path across the lava. It is guarded by hidden Exploding Jelly Fish. Shoot them with arrows from a distance (around 10-12 needed).
  3. 3
    Run towards the exit in a zigzag pattern to avoid any remaining exploders.
  4. 4
    Approach the Save Statue to replenish health and open a chest for Red Essence.
  5. 5
    Exit the cavern to Muramasa's Statue. Stock up on items and save your game.
  6. 6
    Enter the Forest of Shadows. You will encounter Marionette Spiders, robotic spider-like enemies with laser attacks and slicing combos. Use On-Land Charges followed by hard combos to defeat them.
  7. 7
    To avoid fighting more Marionette Spiders later in the forest, dash back to the Save Statue and save your game. When you return, they will have disappeared.
  8. 8
    Continue out of the forest to encounter Centaurs, similar to Samurai Horsemen. Let them approach you, block their spear attacks, and counter with a hard combo.
  9. 9
    You will then face Volf again. Evade his Scythe attacks and stay close. When he misses, dash in with aggressive combos. Use Wind Blades if Centaurs obstruct your view.
  10. 10
    Defeat Volf to complete the mission and obtain the Heart of Bestial Storm.
  11. 11
    Proceed to Antechamber #1 and Antechamber #2, where you will face more Marionette Spiders.
Tips
  • When fighting Zedonius, aggressive offense is key, but don't neglect defense.

  • The trick to avoid the second wave of Marionette Spiders in the forest involves saving and returning, making them disappear.
  • Against Centaurs, timing your counter-attacks after blocking is crucial.
  • When fighting Volf, focus on close-range combat and exploit openings after his missed attacks.
  • Heart of Bestial Storm (after defeating Volf)
