Discover how to unlock Ninja Dog Mode, Hard, Very Hard, Master Ninja Modes, and the Unearthed Challenge missions in Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Learn about costume unlocks.

Walkthrough:

Ninja Dog Mode: This mode is not selectable from the Main Menu. To start in this mode, get a GAME OVER three times and then select YES twice. Ryu will receive Ration Bundles from Ayane to restore health.

Additional Difficulties:

  • Finish the game on Normal Mode to unlock Hard Mode.
  • Finish Hard Mode to unlock Very Hard Mode.
  • Finish Very Hard Mode to unlock Master Ninja Mode.

An alternate way to unlock these difficulties is to defeat Doku in Chapter 2 on the subsequent difficulty levels.

Unearthed Challenge:

There are 5 Extra Missions in Mission Mode called "Unearthed Challenge". To unlock them, press the following buttons on the D-Pad in the Mission Mode screen: UP DOWN LEFT DOWN RIGHT UP SQUARE. Five new missions will appear above the Eternal Legend mission.

Behind the Sword Featurette:

This is a cheaply-produced DVD.

Game Note: Once you finish the game on a specific difficulty, you cannot carry over any weapons or Golden Scarabs into a new game.

  • Ryu Costumes: Battle Suit (Default), Legendary Ninja (Arcade), Doppelganger (Clone), The Grip of Murder (Ninja Gaiden 3).
