Your friendly guide to the Ninja'd Scrolls side missions in Shadow Warrior 2. Learn how to help Lo Wang repair Nobitsura Kage by retrieving ancient scrolls.

Alright, let's talk about the 'Ninja'd Scrolls' side missions. These are pretty important because you need to finish them *before* you start the 'Seepage Problem' mission, or you'll miss out on them entirely. Make a note of that! Basically, Lo Wang needs to help Master Smith fix up his trusty katana, Nobitsura Kage, which has shrunk after the events of the first game. Smith needs some ancient scrolls from his grandfather's library to do it. This whole thing is split into three parts: ### Part 1: The Library Heist (Sort Of) Smith tells Lo Wang he needs scrolls from his grandfather's library. When Lo Wang gets there, surprise! It's been robbed, and all that's left is a memorial. Not exactly helpful. Lo Wang figures out that the graffiti on the walls might point to who did it, so you'll be looking for clues. * Champion: Keep an eye out for the Frozen Widow, a tough version of a Merarachnid. Defeating it nets you the Sub-Zero reward. * Reward: Completing this part gets you the DeVolt item. ### Part 2: The Missing Student Smith's student was on the trail of the scrolls but went missing. Your job is to track him down. Turns out, he got himself caught by some Yakuza folks and is stuck in a cage. Once you free him, he'll contact Hideo to get a ride to Dragon Mountain and then head back to talk to Smith. * Champion: You'll face The Guard. Taking him down rewards you with Killer Instinct. * Reward: This part gives you the Force Slash item. ### Part 3: The Antique Collector Smith's student has a lead on a few people who might know where the scrolls are. You'll track down one of them, Saito. He might be persuaded to give up a code to an antique collector's hideout. If talking doesn't work, well, Lo Wang decides to take a more direct approach – a fight! After a tough battle, you'll grab the scrolls and head back to Smith. * Champion: Get ready to fight Unit 64-Commodore, a version of the Zilla Commando - Chopper. The reward for beating this one is Emperor's Touch. * Reward: You'll get an Energy Pouch for finishing this part. Once all three parts are done, Smith can finally work his magic and turn the damaged Nobitsura Kage into a medallion. It's not the same, but it's the best he can do with it in that state. Remember, these are side missions, so tackle them when you have a moment. They're a good way to get some useful items and rewards!
