Part 6

Learn strategies for defeating enemies in Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, including Mutant Bats, Lycanthrope Werewolves, and Gaja snakes.

Enemies:

• Mutant Bats: These bats swarm you and rapidly deplete health. Activate the Wind Blades Ninpo or use combos.
• Lycanthrope Werewolves: Similar to Van Gelfs but use dead bodies as projectiles. Counter their pouncing melee attacks or use ON-LAND CHARGES to weaken them.
• Silver Gaja & Red Gaja: These gorgon-type snakes are more dangerous on water. Lure them to dry land and use an Izuna Drop.
• Land Mines: Appear only in Chapter 8. Follow footprints on the snow to avoid them.
• Exploding Jelly Fish: Difficult to see and explode when near them in water. Destroy them with the Gatling Gun.
• Blood Fish: Appear in Chapters 9 and 14. Use the Gatling Gun while in water to defeat them.
• Ghost Fish: Appear in Chapter 5 (and parts of 6 & 12). Use the Kusari-gama or Vigoorian Flails, or the Gatling Gun underwater.
• Water Sentry: Appear in Chapter 9. Use Water Run to approach and attack with a combo using the Scythe (level 3) for an instant kill.
• Spriggan (Chainsaw Zombie): Evade their chainsaw or cannonballs, then use an Ultimate to limb them. Obliterate them and repeat with ON-LAND CHARGES and leftover Essence.
• Executors & Mecha-Fiend: These half-robot enemies shoot many bullets. Use the Eclipse Scythe with mid-air combos to weaken them for Obliteration. Use Wind Blades Ninpo if overwhelmed.
• Acid Worms: Appear only in Chapter 10. Do not fight them up close as they emerge from acid lava. Use Incendiary Shurikens charged to level 2.
• Skull Spiders & Large Dung Beetles: Slice a few with any weapon (preferably Scythe or Kusari-gama) and use leftover Essence for Ultimates.
• Marionette Spiders: Appear in Chapters 13 & 14. Use hard combos to weaken them (they explode but keep moving) and then Obliterate. Alternatively, use Wind Blades Ninpo on a group to weaken them for Obliteration without combos.
• Pokemon Dragon Boi: Appears in Chapter 12. Use On-Land Charge UT to weaken them, then use hard combos.
• Centaurs: Similar to Samurai Horsemen. Stay immobile near a wall, block their attack, and strike as they turn.

Zombie Enemies: In Chapters 12-13, zombified versions of Black Spider Ninjas, Incendiary Dogs, Rasetsu, and Van Gelfs appear but are no different to defeat.
