    Begin by heading right. To complete the 'Deflect 10 enemy projectiles' challenge, lure a Red Ninja to repeatedly throw shuriken at you and deflect them.
  2. 2
    Continue right, bouncing off fireballs to reach platforms. Collect the first Golden Scarab by pressing Down and Cross.
  3. 3
    Defeat Fuma Shield enemies and Ronin.
  4. 4
    At Shrine #2, you'll meet Muramasa, the merchant. You can use Golden Scarabs to buy talismans.
  5. 5
    Proceed into the cave, carefully navigating spikes. Before the Flame Thrower, destroy the fake wall on the bottom right to access the secret room.
  6. 6
    In the secret room, use fireballs to cross a spike-filled path to find the Scroll collectible.
  7. 7
    Return and climb upwards, using fireballs to ascend. Near the top, use Guillotine Boost on fireballs to reach higher platforms. Collect the second Golden Scarab near Shrine #3.

    Continue left. After Gurthka burns the bridge, defeat the Fuma Shield. Collect the 'Triple Scarab' (counts as 3 Golden Scarabs) to the right.

    Defeat a Fuma Shield guarded by an elite Red Ninja to find the second Crystal Skull.
  13. 13
    Continue upwards, using walls to avoid bamboo spikes and enter a cave for Shrine #5.

    Cross the pit area by bouncing off Jet Ninjas. Use an elite Fuma Shield to defeat the Fuma Shield ahead.
  16. 16
    Navigate a tunnel with spikes by bouncing off fireballs to grab the ceiling and proceed right to Shrine #6.
  17. 17
    Climb the shaft outside. Defeat a Fuma Shield and a Jet Ninja with a blue aura. Destroy a turret before climbing a wall. Avoid a land mine.
  18. 18
    Meet the CIA Agent and head into the cave behind him for Shrine #7.
  19. 19
    Proceed to the gate for the boss fight against Gurthka.
Tips
  • To easily complete the 'Deflect 10 enemy projectiles' challenge, find a safe spot with a Red Ninja and let him throw shuriken at you repeatedly.
  • The 'Avoid falling into pits' challenge requires careful platforming. Pay attention to enemy movements and environmental hazards.
  • The secret room containing the Scroll is hidden behind a destructible wall near the Flame Thrower before Shrine #2.
  • The 'Triple Scarab' counts as three Golden Scarabs and is located in a pit area after Gurthka burns the bridge.
  • When fighting Gurthka, utilize the arena's sides to avoid his attacks, especially the fire breath and ground slam.
