Complete walkthrough for Part 16 of Ninja Gaiden II, covering the Museum, Test of Valor, Statue of Liberty areas, and the boss battle against Alexei.
Walkthrough
- 1In the Museum, destroy glass displays to find Incendiary Shurikens and dual Katanas. Grab the Katanas. Find a scroll behind glass. Slash down wooden blinds next to the scroll to reveal a Silver Xbox, which replenishes health. Save your game at the nearby Save Statue.
- 2Enter the portal for Test Of Valor #2. Defeat the numerous pink-colored Van Gelfs using a level 3 weapon and Ultimate Techniques. Use Obliterations sparingly and ensure you have at least 2 Herbs Of Spiritual Life. The prize for this test is the Talisman of Rebirth.
- 3In the Statue of Liberty - Torch of Liberty Room, eliminate the Warlocks first, then use Ultimates to clear the remaining enemies.
- 4The doorway is blocked, so climb the stairs and use Wall Runs to reach a window. Grab the item from the dead body. A Van Gelf will jump through the window; defeat it with combos, then jump out and use Ultimates on other enemies. Clear the area and proceed up the stairs.
- 5Fight through the Statue of Liberty - Base Stairway, dealing with Van Gelfs and mini-dragons. Use combos on enemies and arrows on mini-dragons. At the statue's base, eliminate the final group of Van Gelfs. Enter the next area.
- 6In the Statue of Liberty - Inner Stairway & Elevator, clear the bottom area of archers and ninjas using combos and Obliterations. Go up the stairway to find a Save Statue.
- 7Across from the Save Statue, use a Wall Run near the bottom of the stairs to reach the metal beams. Jump to the farthest beam to find Crystal Skull #9.
- 8Enter the elevator shaft and use a Bird Flip to reach the top. Clear out the ninjas waiting there and go up the stairs.
- 9On an open balcony, find a chest containing a Life of the Gods. Mini-dragons will spawn; quickly grab the item and return inside.
- 10Continue up the stairs to Muramasa's Statue. Stock up on items. Stake the spiral stairs to a dead end.
- 11At the dead end, jump down the gap. From the landing area, use a Bird Flip to reach the top of the spiral stairs, finding the alternate route to the top.
- 12Prepare for the boss battle against Alexei.
Boss Battle: Alexei
- Attacks: Whirlwind, Face Grab, Electric Fireballs, Lightning Strike.
- Weaknesses: Alexei's attacks are fast and mostly unblockable. The Face Grab cannot be blocked but can be evaded. Use constant Reverse Winds to get through his Whirlwind attack. His projectiles are also hard to block.
- Strategy: Be extremely aggressive. Use rapid combos to inflict damage quickly, limiting Alexei's opportunities to use his attacks.
Tips

- Use Obliterations sparingly during the Test of Valor and ensure you have at least 2 Herbs Of Spiritual Life.
- When fighting Van Gelfs and mini-dragons on the base stairway, use combos and arrows effectively.
