Learn how to achieve Ending A in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound by leaving Kumori behind and having Kenji escape. Detailed walkthrough and boss fight strategies included.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by heading right, jumping between rooftops and being cautious of falling into pits.
  2. 2
    Proceed through the stage, ascend a wall and billboard, then continue right to find a Demon Altar. Complete it to obtain the first Crystal Skull.
  3. 3
    After returning to Kenji, go over the barbed wire and descend to find the next shrine.
  4. 4
    Continue right, being mindful of larger pits. Use a zipline to descend onto moving vehicles.
  5. 5
    Navigate the moving vehicles, avoiding the helicopter's spotlight and falling into the gaps.
  6. 6
    As demons attack the helicopter, jump onto the hood of your truck to reach an uphill path where the second Crystal Skull is located. Use Guillotine Boost to aid in jumps.
  7. 7
    After a scene where the helicopter crashes, proceed through a vertical shaft to the next shrine.
  8. 8
    In the vertical shaft, ascend while avoiding rising fire from below and on the walls. Dodge falling rocks indicated by pink/purple arrows.
  9. 9
    Reach the top, continue right to the next area and shrine.
  10. 10
    Use the Demon Altar. As Kumori, ascend a vertical shaft. Go left first to find the final Crystal Skull.
  11. 11
    Return right, descend, and stick to the left wall to cut a rope, breaking the floor below.
  12. 12
    As Kenji, head up and right. Navigate through an area with initial enemies, then drop down to trigger a scene with the CIA Agent.

Boss Fight: Kagazk

Kagazk's weak point is its exposed heart. Be aware of its attacks:

  • Swipe: Jump over the sweeping hand attacks. Use Guillotine Boost to bounce off.
  • Smash: Run to avoid the overhead hand smash. Jump to a wall to evade the subsequent ground fire wave.
  • Fireballs: Dodge fireballs shot from its palm by running.
  • Fire Breath: Avoid the fire spit directed at the ground around the heart.
  • Nails: Dodge fingernail projectiles, especially those with an aura, by bouncing off them. Destroy aura nails to use against the boss.
  • Clap: Bounce off the hands to escape the wide-reaching fire from the clap attack.
  • Fire Beam: When the boss's health is low, it will wrap its heart with ribs and shoot a fire beam. Destroy the ribs to expose the heart.
  • Final Phase: As Kumori, climb ledges and hit the small fireballs with red auras to destroy the rib cage and damage the heart. Return to Kenji to finish.

Endings:

  • Ending A: Leave Kumori behind and have Kenji run away.
  • Ending B: Leave Kenji behind and have Kumori run away.
  • Good Ending: Trigger Ending B during NG+ (Hard Mode) after finishing the game once.

You can replay the stage to achieve Endings A and B.
