Part 9

In the first area, approach a dead body to find the FLYING SWALLOW TECHNIQUE Scroll. Work your way to a rooftop balcony to face a large group of enemies. Prioritize eliminating Warlocks first, then the other ninjas. Ultimate Techniques are effective here.

After clearing the enemies, enter the newly opened doorway. Approach a gold statue to find the LUNAR weapon. Equip it and test its long range and quick combos.

Grab any other goodies from a nearby chest and use the SAVE STATUE.

Make your way downstairs and approach a dead body to find the ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE Scroll. Follow the on-screen prompts to perform the UT.

Approach the bridge and use the Lunar weapon. Block enemy attacks and use counterattacks to create openings for combos. Avoid button mashing.

When the area is cleared, approach a dead body on the other side of the bridge to find NOTEBOOK: OBLITERATION TECHNIQUE.

Enter the house and approach another dead body to find the TECHNIQUE OF ULTIMATE GUIDANCE.

Enter the house and turn right to find a scroll on the wall. Slice it to reveal a secret room with a chest and pots. Collect the items.

Exit the house to encounter more ninjas. Use On-Land Charges to defeat them.

Go back into the house. Open the chest to release Essence, but do not absorb it.

Move towards the paper wall; two ninjas will emerge. Use a UT to defeat them.

Exit the house through the other end to face two more ninjas. Eliminate them to trigger the opening of Muramasa's Statue.

Approach the statue and use the BLACKSMITH option to upgrade the Dragon Sword or Lunar to Level 2. Stock up on health items.

Continue the mission by jumping down the nearby well.

Jump down the well and eliminate the bats with Shurikens. Exit the well by breaking down the door to a series of metal catwalks.

Traverse the catwalks and approach a dead body to find the NOTEBOOK: SHADOWLESS FOOTSTEPS item. Defeat the two approaching enemies.

Jump down to the lower catwalk to find a chest.

Go back up and use a Wall Run on the large wall to reach the next catwalk. Grab the item from the chest at the other end if desired.

Approach the flimsy-looking catwalk; the broken bars create an opening to jump down to the next area.

Traverse the walkway until enemies appear. Maintain defense and minimize Obliterations. Clear the walkway and reach the end to trigger a cutscene.

On the next few floors, defeat waves of ninjas. After the first wave, activate the nearby SAVE STATUE.

Enter the next room and defeat the ninjas using defensive tactics and Ultimates.

Go down the stairs to find a chest with an item.

Go up the stairs to the next floor and defeat the next set of enemies.

Continue to the top of the stairs to find a chest containing the CRACKED CARD KEY.

Use the Cracked Card Key on the white door near the elevator doors on the previous floor to enter a maintenance room.

Approach a dead body to find the NOTEBOOK: FLYING BIRD item.

Climb the ladder and enter the shaft to the elevator roof. Use a Flying Bird Flip to reach the very top.

Charge up a UT and use it on the ninjas in the room.

Go to the other side of the room to find a chest and Muramasa's Statue. Open the chest and stock up on items if needed.

Upgrade weapons to Level 2 if you haven't already, as it will help with the upcoming boss battle.

Go to the other side of the Bamboo Room to find a SAVE STATUE. It is recommended to ignore it for now and proceed up the stairs.

Defeat the final wave of enemies.

Go back down and use the SAVE STATUE.
