Complete walkthrough for Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound's 1-3 After The Demons! stage, including collectibles, challenges, and boss fight strategies against Gurthka.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path right, deflecting shuriken from Red Ninjas to complete a challenge. Climb the wall and use fireballs to reach platforms, then use them to cross to the left. Press PSv Down and PSCROSS to drop down and collect the first Golden Scarab.
  2. 2
    Continue right, bouncing off fireballs. Defeat the new Fuma Shield enemy and proceed. Drop down, go right, defeat a Ronin and another Fuma Shield, then reach Shrine #2.
  3. 3
    Meet Muramasa, the merchant. Purchase a talisman (e.g., Blood Frenzy). Continue into the cave, carefully crossing spike traps and defeating Skulls. Before a Flame Thrower, destroy a fake wall on the bottom right to find a secret room. Use fireballs to navigate the spikes and collect the Scroll.
  4. 4
    Return outside and climb upwards using fireballs. Near the top, use Guillotine Boost on fireballs to reach Shrine #2 and a Golden Scarab.
  5. 5
    Continue left, defeat Gurthka by bouncing off his shuriken. Collect the Triple Scarab (counts as 3 Golden Scarabs). Navigate a large pit area, being careful not to fall. Defeat Red Ninjas and Jet Ninjas. Climb walls to reach higher platforms and defeat a Jet Ninja, then Shrine #3.
  6. 6
    In the next pit area, defeat a Red Ninja and find the first Crystal Skull above. Continue left, defeating Jet Ninjas and Red Ninjas, then a Fuma Shield. A Red Ninja with a blue aura will appear; kill him to defeat the Fuma Shield and get the second Crystal Skull.
  7. 7
    Go up, use walls to avoid bamboo spikes, and enter a cave for Shrine #4. Defeat a Ronin and continue right. Gurthka burns the bridge; run right, jump over a Ronin, and hang off the ledge to get the last Crystal Skull. Get back up and proceed right.
  8. 8
    Cross a pit using Jet Ninjas to bounce off. Use the second Jet Ninja (with a blue aura) to kill a Fuma Shield. Go through a tunnel with spikes, bouncing off a fireball to grab the ceiling and reach Shrine #5.
  9. 9
    Climb a shaft outside. Use a Red Ninja's blue aura to kill a Fuma Shield. Head right past a Jet Ninja; a turret appears, destroy it before climbing the wall to find a Drone. Avoid a land mine and trigger a scene meeting a CIA Agent. Enter the cave behind for Shrine #6.
  10. 10
    Head towards a gate for the boss fight against Gurthka.

Boss Fight: Gurthka

  1. Gurthka's Attacks:
    • Jumps high, flies back, slams down, releasing 4 fireballs. Dodge between fireballs and attack.
    • Flies low, swipes claw, releases 3 fireballs. Dodge roll through his attack, get close without being hit, and attack.
    • Huge fire breath attack. Move to the opposite side of the room.
    • Slams the ground, creating 6 fire pillars. Stay in the safe zones between pillars.
    • Summons a skull with a blue aura (free damage).
  2. Strategy: The arena now has fire in the center, limiting movement. Stay on one side (e.g., left) and attack when Gurthka comes to you. Dodge his attacks, especially the second one. His flamethrower attack has the same range but covers less of the larger room; stay on the opposite side. This fight is similar to the previous encounter.
