Part 25

After clearing the initial ballistic soldiers, enter Red Square to face a large gang of giant mechs and some ballistic soldiers. Use the Scythe and Wind Blades Ninpo, employing mid-air combos and evasive maneuvers. Weaken mechs and use Wind Blades Ninpo to finish them or set them up for Obliteration. Use On-Land Charge Ultimates on remaining mechs, immediately Obliterating them after decapitation. For any remaining ballistic soldiers, use Incendiary Shurikens to dismember them, then approach and Obliterate. Continue eliminating spawning soldiers until the gateway opens. Save your game at the Save Statue inside.

Enter the Red Square Shopping Center. Eliminate the Incendiary pooches outside with On-Land Charges. Inside, a mix of soldiers and ballistic missile soldiers will spawn. The ballistic soldiers are on the upper walkway. You can reach them via the Bird Flip chasm to the left or by taking the stairs in the middle of the shopping center, accessible from an open shop near the fountain (which also contains a Muramasa's Statue). Clear the upper walkways of the two pairs of ballistic soldiers first, then deal with the soldiers below. Restock at Muramasa's if needed, then exit.

In Outer Chapel Alley, you will encounter landmines hidden in the snow. Look for footprints to guide you safely through. Run through the footprints slowly to avoid detonation. At the other end of the alley, a gang of ballistic soldiers will appear. Take cover on a sandbag post and stock up on arrows from a nearby chest. Use charged arrows to pick off the soldiers one by one.

Once the ballistic soldiers are dealt with, SLOWLY traverse the remaining landmines using the footprints to reach the end of the alley. Destroy the two large turrets guarding the locked gate with charged arrows.

Crystal Skull #18 is located near the end of the alley, surrounded by landmines. Proceed with extreme caution to retrieve it.

After collecting the skull, approach the large metal gate and SLOWLY traverse through the snow using the footsteps. Open the gate to find a Save Statue.

Enter the Red Square Chapel and prepare for an ambush by Red Spider Ninjas. Focus on evasion and defensive play, then use hard combos or an Izuna Drop to create Essence for Ultimates. Get as many Ultimates on the ninjas as possible and Obliterate them.

Exit the chapel through the thin black door and proceed up the stairs. Jump and wall run to the top.

In the Belltower, jump to the metal bar, shimmy to the right, and swing to the other side. The black door is locked. Look for an open window and go through it to find a dead body with the BELL KEY. Use the key on the black door.

Crystal Skull #19 is located down the stairway after opening the black door.
