Walkthrough for Ninja Gaiden II Part 19, covering the Castle Sewers, the Test of Valor, the Underwater Cavern, and the Aquemini Water Dragon boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon landing in the sewers, prepare for an ambush by Van Gelfs and Gaja near the Save Statue. Use defensive tactics, hard combos, and Wind Blades Ninpo to clear them.
  2. 2
    After clearing the area, use the Save Statue.
  3. 3
    To the right of the Save Statue, a Test of Valor awaits. This test involves fighting wolves and mini-dragons.
  4. 4
    The prize for this Test of Valor is the Jewel of the Demon Seal. It's recommended to attempt this with the Eclipse Scythe for easier completion. Use combos and Ultimates on wolves, and arrows on mini-dragons. A dead body nearby can replenish arrows.
  5. 5
    If you skip the Test of Valor or have finished it, proceed to the other side of the sewers to a dead end. Dive into the water and swim through a large cavern to a new area.
  6. 6
    In the Underwater Cavern, you'll encounter Ghost Fish. Use the Gatling Gun to deal with them.
  7. 7
    Explore the cavern for chests containing items, but be prepared to fight fish.
  8. 8
    To trigger the boss battle, find the chest on the left side of the cavern, perched on a broken pillar. Open it to retrieve the Skull Key.
  9. 9
    The boss battle is against the Aquemini Water Dragon.
  10. 10
    After the boss battle, you'll be in the Underwater Cavern - Upper Pillars area.
  11. 11
    Find Crystal Skull #13 near where Ryu starts. Defeat the fish and rotate the camera to spot the Skull under wreckage. Go around the pillars and jump down to retrieve it.
  12. 12
    Approach Muramasa's Statue to stock up.
  13. 13
    Continue jumping across pillars, fighting Fish and Gaja, until you reach dry land.
  14. 14
    Continue jumping across pillars until you reach another Save Statue. Save your game.

Boss Battle: Aquemini Water Dragon

  • Strategy: Use Level 2 charged shots with the Fiend's Bane Bow. Stay on the dry land and aim for the dragon's head.
  • Attack to Watch For: Water Breath. Evade at the last second when the dragon initiates this attack.
  • Alternative Strategy: Jump into the water and damage the dragon's body.
  • Finisher: When the dragon's health is around 25%, use an Obliteration.
Tips
  • For the Test of Valor, the Eclipse Scythe makes defeating the wolves much easier.
  • The Gatling Gun is effective against the Ghost Fish in the Underwater Cavern.
  • If you need arrows for the mini-dragons in the Test of Valor, a dead body nearby can replenish them.
