on controller two. The game will resume to verify entry. Have player one walk towards an enemy or innocent.
When your close enough, player two should be able to control him/her.
Note: By using this code may
have the game glitch. This code gives
player two total access to every enemy at once. When the code
is used when close to an enemy with the "?" on radar, you will be able to
use simple controls with controller two, using the D-pad.
Now press Left or Right to rotate
every enemy on the
map. They rotate similar to a character in a Resident Evil
game. Then press R1 to make every enemy duck. Then
press X
to make them all jump. All enemies can also double jump. By pressing
Forward it will make all enemies on the level move forward.
They cannot attack if the code is enabled in the "?"
state. Doing the code when an enemy is in the "!" state
will allow player two to control every enemy in attack state. All
enemies on the level will be able to do the same thing as "?"
state enemies, but will be able to attack with Square,
and will be be able to move backwards with the D-pad. Enemies
do not hurt other enemies only you. You can now block attacks
with all enemies. Redot the code to turn it off. A good
use of this code is for stealth killing everybody, as when the
code is enabled, enemies do not have an active AI and will no
longer react to you when noticed, even if you hit them. You can also force
enemies off ledges and cliff sides. Note:
This will also cause enemies to not attack you if you go near them.

Hints & Tips
Throwing things around a corner There are a few items that you can throw around a corner;
Grenades, Poisoned Rice, Smoke Bombs, and Caltrops. Put your back
to the wall using R1, move to the end of the wall,
and tap Triangle on the item you wish to throw around the
corner. Your character will then take out the item and throw it.
If it is a Smoke Bomb, the character will cough and you can move
in for a stealth kill.
Suicide attack When you access Jonin Blue, press
X + Square
to pull out two bombs. You can run into an enemy and it will take
his life away once it goes off.
If you try to "Forge Death" close to a enemy,
you will stealth kill him and yourself in doing so.
Easy stealth kills This trick will work better on high roof levels
like
Rikimaru's first mission. If you have trouble anticipating when
to execute a stealth kill, use a Poison Rice. Throw it in front
of the guard and slice him before he eats it. Then, grab your
rice and repeat. You must be on a roof or cliff to
do this.
Run or walk up against an enemy's side or back and press Square
in order to stealth kill him. You can also stealth kill him in
front, but you have to do this fast, before he notices you.
Note: All stealth kills have
to be executed before the enemy notices you. Also, you can see different
animations for each character depending on which side of the stealth kill is in
sight. Each character has a different stealth kill.
Alternate ending sequence Obtain a "Grand Master" rank on all levels with Rikimaru and beat Tenrai.
You will be treated to a new ending, and will have to fight Tenrai a third time
before he dies.
Secret attacks To execute a secret attack with the various characters,
spin the Left Analog-stick and tap Square.
Note: This may require a few
tries.
When your using Tesshu, press
X +
Circle. You will see
red smoke around his arms. When you punch somebody, they will
catch on fire. This will only work briefly, but you can repeat
it.
Note: This will work for only
Tesshu, unless you go to the versus mode and use different people, but not
Rikimaru and Ayame.
Invincibility Simply enable the "Unlock all items" and the
"Unlimited item capacity" code. Obtain between 50 to 100 Chameleon Cloaks and/or
50 to 100 Invisibility Cloaks. Note:
The Invisibility Cloaks will not let you use any item except for the same item
the Chameleon Cloaks will.
Double stealth kills Go to co-op mode, choose your player, and sneak up
on an enemy by using stealth. Both of players must be close to the enemy
when one of them presses Square to execute a double stealth
kill.
Easy kills Wrath Of Heaven is
the best attack in this game, but it will drop you down to one life point within
seconds of its use. Pause the game in mid-attack and enable the
"Recover health" code. In doing this, if your opponent swings his sword at you
in mid attack, you will not die. Also, if you do
not have a smoke bomb, just knock an enemy down and immediately perform Wrath
Of Heaven. If timed right, it will hit him just as he stands.
Have the blow dart equipped and sneak up near an enemy. Aim the
blow dart at the opponents head and fire. If you hit them in the
head, it will be an instant kill. This is helpful when encountering
the ogre in level 3.
Wrath Of Heaven technique To obtain the Wrath Of Heaven technique, you
need to get
ten stealth kills on the last level. This is easier if you use
the "Unlock all items" code, then use the "Increase
items" code. The items that are best to grab are smoke bombs,
the invisibility item, and the item that makes you look like an
enemy.
Note: Now press
X +
Circle to execute the move.
Restore heath using ninja rebirth items This trick will only work if you have ninja rebirth
items and the Wrath Of Heaven attack . Use the Wrath Of Heaven.
It does not matter if you hit or miss. When you have one heath
point remaining, kill yourself by using the Forge Death move.
You will return at full heath.
New items Obtain a rank of Grand Master on a level to access new items. The item vary
for every level.
Easier Boss fights Before you go into a level, bring five or six Sticky
Bombs with you. Save them until the Boss. Once you fight
him, back up and use the Sticky Bombs. It should only take a couple.
This is the easy way to beat Bosses, as the Sticky Bombs take
off plenty of life and are unblockable.
Simply use a Blow Gun Dart to stun the Boss. Then, use a
Fire Dart while the Boss is stunned. If you have enough, the Boss will die
before it reaches you. This will work well on Tenrai.
Note: Save your items for
only the fights that are the hardest.
Killing innocents without losing Kanji Just play a stage with a beehive.
Note: The first stage has two
of them. Now lure enemies and innocents near a beehive with either a poison rice
or a magazine. Then, hit the beehive with either a shuriken or a throwing needle
and watch the bees do the rest. You will not lose any Kanji when the bee's kill
an innocent, nor will you gain any as a stealth kill. This will help take care
of groups of enemies, as the bees attack several targets at once. You can re-hit
the hive to have them finish the job. Note:
If you are too near the hive or are the only one in the vicinity, the bees will
attack you.
Take a few low-damage range weapon with you, like throwing
stars, or pick up bows and arrows from the guards, and bring along
a few poison rice. Normally two arrows or stars will be enough
to bring an innocent person's health down to the point where the
rice can finish them. Sometimes these two stars or
arrows will be enough to kill them; you will have to test
with the damage they do at different ranges. However, you have
to throw the rice last, as they only eat a poison rice ball once.
Fireworks of death When your playing as Rikimaru or Ayame take the Fireworks
item with you, and if you like, the Chameleon Spell to make this
easier. Place the Fireworks near your enemy. If he or she
is unaware of your presence, he or she will die immediately. If
you are spotted, you can lay the Fireworks and wait until the
enemy is close enough. This will cause major damage.
Beating Demon Ninjas When your in a fight with two or more Demon Ninja, be careful. If you are busy fighting one, the other can
execute a
stealth kill on you. Be sure to watch every Demon Ninja.
Falling When you are falling a long way's, hold R1.
When you land, you will not fall over and have to wait for your
character to get up. This is useful when you are trying to
jump on an enemy and miss.
Use this trick in order to hide easier or stop from falling
off a roof or ledge. If you are close a ledge, crouch down and
roll backwards. As you roll backwards, press
Left Analog-stick
Up. If done right, you should grab the ledge instead of
falling. This is a good way to hide from enemies
on rooftops or adjacent ledges.
Repel enemies When your playing as Tessu, you can repel enemies
that are chasing you. If an enemy is after you, move
out of sight and gp into stealth mode up against the wall. Then use
your barnyard animal call and the enemy will think that you were
just an animal and walk away and return to green mode.
Beating Kagura If you happen to have the Wrath Of Heaven, use it on the
larger
partner first instead of running around and trying to hit her,
because he will chase you. Kill him with the Wrath
Of Heaven and he will fall with just one shot. You will then have all
the time to kill Kagura.
Beating Tenrai Use this trick to kill Tenrai's second form
in under fifteen seconds. This takes one Binding spell,
two Fire spells, and the Wrath Of Heaven ability. As soon as you
regain control of Ayame, cast the Binding spell. Remain in the circle,
and wait until Tenrai gets "bound" when he runs up to
the edge. Then cast a Fire spell to knock him back. Redo this step
with the other Fire spell. When he returns and gets bound
again, use the Wrath Of Heaven to beat him.
There is a much easier way to kill Tenrai's second and
third form on the final level. As soon as the intermission sequence
ends and Rikimaru can focus through his right eye, execute Wrath
Of Heaven just before Tenrai runs at you. Do the same thing
again for the third form. If done right, there is no need
to bother with the Bind or Fire spell.
Guard cats The cats are invincible. You are unable to stealth kill them. Their only
purpose is to alert every guard in the area. Stay away from them if you can.
Fortress Of Evil B: More items Use this trick to obtain more items in co-op
mission 6. When you start, have someone kill
Tajima first. Do not touch Nasu. When
you have killed Tajima, have both you and your partner go after Nasu. Do not slash him. When he starts bowing down and says
"Please don't kill me", he will then say "I'll
give you this" and places an item on the ground, After this,
have yourself or your partnerexecute a double jump over him.
He will say "Sucker" and start spinning around. Then have
the person who did not jump run up and get the item before he
stops. Keep doing this as many times as you like. Also,
instead of doing a double jump, you or your partner can throw
a star at him and he will take a few steps back. Then, the person
who did not throw the star can run up and grab the item.
Rikimaru's Temple level: Defeating Boss When your fighting the Boss on the Temple level, do not
attack the red enemy. Instead, attack the teleporting lady.
You can only get the red enemy down to 100 HP until
he is automatically revived. She is weak. Kill her and
the red enemy will be killed and you will fight Tatsumaru.
Rikimaru: Double K.O. First select versus in multi-player mode and have both players choose
Rikimaru. You need to have the Wrath Of Heaven skill. Stand in front of each
other and use Wrath Of Heaven together.
Tesshu: Avoiding detection Once you posses his animal mimic, then each time someone
discovers a dead body, use that mimic. They will think it was
just a animal.
Praying Ninjas While your playing as Ayame, execute a stealth kill on an
enemy while he or she is on a slope. After she kills them, they
will seem to be "bowing" down to you.
Tenrai has two deaths When your in mission 10, Tenrai Fortress-B,
when you beat Tenrai for the last time a FMV sequence will start. Tenrai will
have two deaths, depending which choice was made in Rikimaru's cemetery mission
and Ayame's Amagai castle mission. Tenrai will be cut in half and he will
disintegrate.
Rescue Counsel Sekiya: Defeating Boss At the end of this level, after you blow up the rock
you have to beat Kagura. Pay no attention to her and attack the large wolf. If you ever
zre seriously injured you can
jump up on the outer wall, since the part you start fighting in
is sunken. None of the enemies can hurt you here. You can heal
freely and use items like shooting the blow gun or throw shuriken.
They cannot block these. Just use them to wear the enemies down.
