Walkthrough

1
Start by heading right. A good spot to get the 'Deflect 10 enemy projectiles' challenge is by letting a Red Ninja repeatedly throw shuriken at you.
2
Continue right, climb the wall, and use platforms to reach higher areas. Use fireballs from pots to cross to a platform containing the first Golden Scarab.
3
Encounter the 'Fuma Shield' enemy; be cautious of its returning shuriken. Defeat elite enemies with blue auras.
4
Proceed right, drop down, and defeat a Ronin and another Fuma Shield.
5
Reach Shrine #2 and meet the merchant Muramasa. Purchase a talisman (e.g., Blood Frenzy) with your Golden Scarabs.
6
Enter the cave, carefully navigate spike traps, and defeat Skulls and a Flame Thrower.
7
Destroy a fake wall on the bottom right to find a secret room. Use fireballs to cross spike traps and collect the Scroll.
8
Return outside and climb using fireballs. Near the top, use Guillotine Boost on fire-spitting faces to ascend.
9
At the top, find Shrine #3 and another Golden Scarab.
10
Continue left, defeat Gurthka (who burns the bridge), and collect the Triple Scarab (counts as 3 Golden Scarabs).
11
Navigate a large pit area with Red Ninjas. Lure them to attack when they throw shuriken.
12
Continue left, climb walls to reach higher platforms, and defeat Jet Ninjas.
13
Reach Shrine #4. In the pit area to the left, find the first Crystal Skull above.
14
Defeat Jet Ninjas and Red Ninjas. A Red Ninja with a blue aura guards the second Crystal Skull.
15
Go up, use walls to avoid bamboo spikes, and enter a cave for Shrine #5.
16
Kill a Ronin. Gurthka burns the bridge, forcing you right. Jump over a Ronin and hang off the ledge to get the last Crystal Skull.
17
Cross a wider pit area by bouncing off Jet Ninjas. Use a blue-aura Jet Ninja to defeat a Fuma Shield.
18
Enter a tunnel with spikes. Bounce off a fireball to grab the ceiling and proceed right to Shrine #6.
19
Climb a shaft outside. Use a blue-aura Red Ninja to defeat a Fuma Shield.
20
A turret appears; destroy it before climbing the wall. Defeat a Drone.
21
A land mine is present; dodge its blast. Continue to trigger a scene with a CIA Agent.
22
Enter the cave behind for Shrine #7.
23
Prepare for the boss fight against Gurthka.

Boss Fight: Gurthka

Gurthka's Attacks:
- Jumps high, slams down, releasing 4 curving fireballs. Dodge between them and attack.
- Flies low, swipes with a claw, releasing 3 small fireballs. Dodge roll through his charge, get close to attack after the claw swipe.
- Large fire breath attack. Move to the opposite side of the room.
- Slams the ground, creating 6 fire pillars. Stay between the pillars.
- Summons a blue-aura skull (free damage).
Strategy: The arena now has fire in the center, limiting movement. Stay on one side (e.g., left) and attack when Gurthka approaches. His flamethrower attack has a wider range but can be avoided by staying on the opposite side. The fight is similar to the previous encounter, with the main difference being the arena hazard.
