Section II--About
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is my second Faq I have worked on, the Guilty Gear Faq being the
first one. Both this and the Guilty Gear Faq can be located within
Gamefaqs.com and console-gamer.com. I would like to say that part of
this faq is from the manual(for those of you playing the import
version)for various reasons. I needed the button layouts and techniques.
Everything else is original and hopefully you will not copy or reproduce
this faq in any way. I would like to thank Activision for Releasing
Tenchu, and thank Both Gamefaqs.com and console-gamer.com for posting my
faqs up on their sites.

Section A--Story
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was a time of great turmoil.
Bitter wars raged as those in power sought yet more power, but only
chaos prevailed.
There was but on beacon of hope shining amidst the madness-
Matsunoshin Gohda who ruled his people with wisdom, compassion, and
justice.
Behind the great man were two ninjas who were sworn to serve and
protect their master to the death. Rikimaru, a leader of the Azuma
Shinobi-ryu ninja sect, and Ayame, a young female ninja, sully their
hands with the blood of the wicked and unjust far from the public's eye.
This is the tale of two shadows of justice born unto darkness and
destined to die in darkness.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Section C--Mission Scoring
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
At the end of each mission, your ninja skills are rated. Foes you beat
in battle will be tallied under "detected kills." You will be awarded
five points for each detected kill. Foes that you surprise and dispatch
using a killing move will be totaled under "undetected kills." Each
undetected kill is worth 20 points. Any innocents that you kill will be
tallied under "innocents" and will result in a 10 point deduction from
the total score. The number of times you were spotted and recognized is
recorded under "spotted." If you were never spotted you will recieve a
400 point bonus. Each time you were seen and recognized will reduce this
bonus.
Your performance will be summed by a rating:
Thug
Novice
Ninja
Master Ninja
Grand Master
If you earn a high rating, the stock of ninja items you can choose
before a mission will be increased. For very high rating you may be
rewarded with rare ninja items not normally available to Lord Gohda's
ninjas. Also, by successfully completeing the missions and earning high
ratings, you own ability as a ninja may be enhanced.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Section D--Items
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Grappling Hook: A rope fitted with a metal grappling hook at one end. It
is indispensable for sneaking into buildings without
alerting enemies.
Shuriken: A throwing star made of flat metal with sharpened points. An
excellent long range weapon.
Caltrops: Small multi-pronged metal spikes designed to pierce shoes.
Drop them behind you to discourage and injure pursuers.
Poison Rice: A rice dumpling full of paralysis poison. Use them to
temporarily incapacitate dogs and hungry guards.
Mine: An explosive device that explodes when stepped on. Use them to
eliminate roaming sentries.
Multicolored Rice: Rice that has been dyed in five colors. Use it as a
trail marker to avoid getting lost.
Grenades: Small clay balls containing scrap metal and explosives. An
excellent area effect weapon. Beware-a grenade explosion can
injure anyone within range including yourself. Dud grenades
can be picked up and reused.
Smoke Bomb: A small ball filled with slow-burning explosive and
corrosive chemicals. When thrown, it releases a noxious
cloud of smoke that temporarily blinds those in the
vicinity.
Healing Potion: Special Medicine that has been passed down through the
Azuma Shinobi-ryu clan over many generation. Imbibing
the potion uplifts the spirit and restores depleted
health.
Authors Note: If you do extremely well within a given mission you may
recieve a few rare items that are incredibly powerful. So
strive for perfection.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Section E--Characters
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Rikimaru: Age: 25 Sex: Male
Rigorously trained from birth in Azuma Shinobi-ryu ninja techniques,
Rikimaru has served Lord Gohda since he was sixteen. He has won the
admiration of his sect for his thoroughness, patience, and bravery. For
his selfless dedication, he was granted the legendary Izayoi sword by
the sect's master Shiunsai. He is usually easygoing and friendly to his
cohorts, but once enraged he becomes terrifyingly focused and withdrawn.
Rikimaru is incredibly strong with attacks, but is slow on the comeback.
This is the character I mostly used.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ayame: Age: 21 Sex: Female
An orphan who has been trained since childhood as a ninja, Ayame has
served Lord Gohda since she was fourteen. She is renowned for her
boldness, spontaneity and quickness. Ayame adores Gohda's daughter Kiku
as if she were her own baby sister. She is acerbic and tough and her
tongue is almost as sharp as her sword.
Ayame is weak but faster which can sometimes come in handy.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Section F--Techniques
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Advanced Techniques
Defense, or Blocking:
To block simple press Away from your attacker and the the Square
button. It should block and throw your opponent off balance. This takes
perfect timing to accomplish.
Move while crouching:
Crouching is a fundamental technique for stealth. Crouching will
allow you to hide behind low obstacles and will also reduce the range at
which you are spotted and recognized. To crouch press the Circle or R1
button. You can roll while crouched by double tapping into the direction
you wish to move.
Using the grappling hook:
The grappling rope is a vital tool for conducting your missions. It
is indispensable for scaling high walls and clambering up onto rooftops.
Select the grappling hook with the R2 button or L2 button. Press and
hold the Triangle button to display the target sight. Use the D-pad to
target some part of a wall or roof that is above your ninja and release
the Triangel button to launch the hook.
Kill from the Shadows:
All ninja can perform devastating blows against unwary foes. These
one-hit kill moves are possible to execute only if the intended target
is totally unaware of the creeping ninja. (The circular meter must be no
higher than ?). Sneak up on the intended victim and press the Square
button to execute them. The actual technique used will vary depending on
the distance between the ninja and the target and the way the target is
facing.
Use the Ninja Items:
To successfully complete missions, the importance of items cannot
be overlooked. Although there are items for attacking, such as shurikens
and grenades, the key point is that you are a ninja-secracy is
paramount. Learn to use items that are designed to help the ninja remain
undetected. Poison rice can be used to neutralize the threat of guard
dogs that can detect ninja with their strong sense of smell. When
spotted by an enemy, a smoke bomb can provide temporary cover for the
ninja to escape.
Know your enemy:
To complete a mission without being spotted will require the ninja
to be a good scout. You will need to detect danger and bypass it or
remove it. Use the Ki meter(circular menu on lowerleft screen) to
determine when you are close to an enemy. If you are close, make sure to
look around to find out where they are. When you find an enemy, try to
view them from a safe vantage point to learn their patrol pattern. Once
you know the enemy, you can time your approach in order to take them by
surprise. Always use stealth techniques when an enemy is near to
maximize the chances of remaining undetected.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
***********************************************************************
Section G--Walkthrough
***********************************************************************
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note: There are various items around each mission that you can obtain,
sometimes I might not list them in the walkthrough due to area
problems(How can I really direct you its a massive game).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1: There is a corrupt merchant who is using the peoples taxes
for himself. Lord Godha asks of you to kill him to return the
money to the people.
________________________________________________________________________
Stage 1: Kill the Merchant
This level is fairly easy, think of it as a training stage. When you
begin between the 2 buildings, use the grappling hook to go up on the
roof in front of you. Now, use it again to go on the right roof in order
to pass by a women whom can be bothersome. Head straight (until you come
to a big gate(the one mentioned in the premission critique), use the
grappling hook to move from your place to there. Check the map, and you
should see a few buildings. Look carefully at the long one, and go
there. Remain on the roof so as to not to alert guards. If you went the
right way, you should see a window. Enter it, sometimes there is a guard
here and others there is a cat. If its the guard, he is always sleeping
so kill him quickly. Anyway, you should see a hole in front of you. Jump
in down it. Watch the cutscene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Echi-goya's Bodyguard HP:100
This guys difficulty varies(I dont know why). My strategy is as soon as
the cutscene ends attack right away. You should catch him offguard and
continue the attack. You should have him licked in no time. If you're
damaged badly, drink your Healing Potion. When you have disposed of him,
you'll have track down Echi-goya. Grapple hook up into the whole from
whence you came and open your map. Look for the 4 houses on the top of
the map. Go to one of them(not sure which one), and Echi-goya should be
in one of them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Echi-goya HP: 80
Just as with the Bodyguard attack immediatly. Catch him offguard and
repeat the assault. Near the crates there should be an item, obtain it
and watch your back. He uses a gun to attack and takes some time to
reload it. It should be a quick victory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 2: You have obtained plans of a attack on Lord Gohda and must
deliver the information to him.
________________________________________________________________________
Stage 2: Deliver the information to Lord Ghoda
After the brief cutscene you emerge behind a corner. Grapple onto the
roofs, and watch out. There are various enemies ranging from Ninja to
Dual Bladed Female ninjas up there also. Press select and search for the
bridge like structure on the map. Go straight, and be wary of enemies,
as they seem to suprise attack you. When you reach the bridge, go under
the bridge into the water. A ninja might be following you, and if he is
he will drown in the water. Emerge from the water, and you should see a
familiar face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 3: A ninja is being held captive, your mission is to rescue
them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3: Rescue the Ninja
This area is relatively huge. You begin the level behind a tree. use
the map to navigate to the winding road. Kill all the wolfs and guards
that get in your way. Look at the map again, and look for the farthest
place on the map. Goto that area, and you will see the ninja, as well as
the boss. On your way there pass by the wooden platform(DO NOT STEP ON
THEM FOR ITS INSTANT DEATH)Jump over if you see one. Use your stealth
abilities to kill enemies here. There is one place, where you can enter
a prison. If you see another door on the other side, be careful! There's
a pitfall there, and most people won't realize it's there. Now, the
difficult part. When you come across a bridge, kill the guard on the
other side(I used shurikens). Look left and right, there should be two
doors. Take the right one. Jump to the right, and a door should open.
Becareful another two guardsawaits you in front. Watch the first one and
when his back is turned kill. Go take the medicine. Kill any guards on
the way, follow the path as there are no pitfalls. As you move onward
you will face the boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goo HP: 100 Goo's Bear HP: 80
The bears attack can take anywhere from 25 to 50HP. Kill the bear first
using mines, and grenades if you have any. If not attack, retreat and
repeat. When you defeat the bear go after Goo. Goo, isn't powerful on
attack. As soon as he begins making an attack dodge(double tap away) and
then attack. Keep hacking at him, you should be able to continually hit
him without taking a single hit. If you do get hit heal IMMEDIATLY as he
does a fair share of damage(countering ect..) If you have any remaining
grenades or mines you can use them on him as it does a good amount of
damage. You release the captive Ninja. Suddenly a man jumps down, and
you challenge him to a fight. You are unable to attack him now, but
later on in a different level you will have the fun of fighting him. He
runs away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 4: Lord Godha has sent you to uncover the other armies plans.
You find that they have recruited thousands of men for their
plans. Your job is to pass through each check point area
without being seen and reach the other end(You can kill those
guards ect.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 4: Get through the check points.
Staff Girl HP: 100
She isn't difficult. Keep your distance and when she attacks, defend
until she finishes attacking and jumping at you. After that begin your
attack using the 3 hit combo and repeat until defeated. After you beat
her, head through the gate and go north, you should see a small tower.
Check out your map, and you can see that the area is split into two
sections seperated by a river. You are on the right side, small area,
and you need to arrive at the other area. Look carefully at your map,
and you should see at the end of the left map, look for 2 dots, that is
the last check point you will need to reach. There is an archer behind
the tower, and you dont really have to climb the tower. Go on ahead,
there are two guards here, and a wolf. Proceed onward, and soon you'll
arrive to a bridge. If you are being pursued use caltrops if you have
any, if not just make a break for the other end. Once there move around
quietly. If you see bamboo trees, you arrived in the correct area. There
are alot of guards so try your best not to give away your location and
get rid of them quietly(use shurikens). Try to kill all the guards,
whether they be Archers,Spearers or Swordsman. When you see another
tower by the gate, the checkpoint is near. If you are hurt, heal
yourself, keep a few heals for later. Proceed into the checkpoint where
you will Sangero, the Boss.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sangero Kagechi: HP: 150
He is extremely difficult, wielding two swords, and has 150 HP. Wait
after he attacks you (defend, or dodge), and then attack. If you have
grenades or mines, now is the time to use them. For he can constantly
attack you. After you defeat him you are given an honorable cutscene.
The Boss at the beginning of the stage is Kagechi's sister.
________________________________________________________________________
Mission 5: There is a corrupt Minister taking peoples money. Lord Godha
knows of this and asks you to execute him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 5: Execute the Minister
After the cutscene, you begin at the outer area of the mansion. Use the
grappling hook to get within the wall boundries. Look out for a guard
that might see you(he is hidden pretty well). Be careful and take out as
many guards as you can stealthfully. Use the map and you should look at
the upper right corner. Though there isnt anything on the map it exists,
so head on over to the upper right corner of the stage. Kataoka's
bodyguard is there along with many archers. Dispose of them. If you see
a fat man beside a well, that's him. After the cutscene, you'll fight
him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kataoka's bodyguard HP: 100
The bodyguard uses the same style of fighting as you do. Just dodge or
block and continue attacking him when you see the chance. When you get
his HP low enough a cutscene will come up. He will tell you where
Kataoka is, and will get an arrow put through his back by a hidden
archer. Head east, along the rooftops. Kill any guards on the way, until
you reach a wall. Climb up the wall with a grappling hook, and look
downwith the L1 button. If you see a man wearing a blue robe, you've
reached the rightplace. Advance towards him, and another cutscene will
occur. You will ask him to kill himself, if he still has honor, and he
does, with a knife, and you will assist him in his task to kill himself
by cutting off his head.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 6: A strange cult named Manji has stolen a sacred stone. Lord
Gohda ask of you to retrieve the stone to free the people
from the Zombie like nature they are in.
________________________________________________________________________
Stage 6: Retrieve and Destroy the Stone from the Manji Clan
This level is pretty easy, kill everybody here while remaining silent.
You start by the stairs, and you need to progress upwards. Sometimes,
there are two guards here. Simply duck and roll forward when they aren't
looking and give it to them. There are two pairs of stairs here, and you
start at the first. When you reach the top of the stairs, you will see
an entrance. Instead of proceeding through the gate, use your grappling
hook and climb up on top of it. Now use your map, look for a large
building complex to the right. That is where you boss battle is. Goto
this area and examine the statue (all the while grappling up higher and
higher)to the ledges above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fatlady HP: 100
This boss is relatively easy, just attack her right off the bat and
don't let up. She will die incredably fast. Once you defeat her,
Onikage, the man from the third stage will jump in and a battle begins.
Onikage HP: 200
Onikage uses martial art attacks on you which cause massive damage when
chained. If you have grenades and mines use them on him to dispose of
him quickly. Make sure you have plenty of healing potions here. Dodge
his attack and then counter. Lay mines, and toss grenades. After you
knock off about 100HP the battle and you win the level.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 7: Your mission is to kill all foreigners.
________________________________________________________________________
Stage 7: Kill all enemies and reach the ship.
You start at a bridge.Jump down and you should see a guard. Go to the
left of the bridge, and climb it while moving to the left. Stealth-kill
the guard. Use the grappling hook to get onto the roof. Use the map and
look for two ships at the southern end of the map. The larger ship is
the one with the boss. Move towards that ship,while being careful of not
being spotted. There are various enemies along the rooftops, be careful.
Go along the green bushed area and stealth kill the guard near the large
ship. Walk over the plank onto the ship. You are going to confront the
boss
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pirate HP: 150
Don't waste any grenades or items on him. As soon as the cutscene ends
begin your relentless attack against him. Continue attacking since you
should have him dazed. After beating him you are given a pretty cool
cutscene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 8: The Princess is ill
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 8: Retrieve the flower to cure the Princess of her illness
This stage is verrrryyyyy hard. Watch your step and time your jumps as a
great fall will render you body useless(IE you die). Make sure to aim
your grappling hook as best you can. Knocking down guards is useful as
well. You begin by trees, now proceed to the east side of the mountain,
avoid the guards and dogs on your way there. The guards here don't
change positions. Instead of using ol stealth your going to have to rush
attack them and dispose of them. Proceed onward. Eventually, you will
arrive at a slight overhang with an archer at the other side of a ledge.
You can either run up to him and kill him(Takes too long running around
to him) or just pop a few shurikens on him. From here enter a cave with
water running into it. Be careful of any guards or dogs as they are
hidden. After proceeding through the cave you should emerge by the
flower, which is on a outward cliff.
_______________________________________________________________________
Mission 9: The castle has been captured and its your job to reclaim it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 9: Reclaim the castle
Not much to say about this level. Avoid fighting and save your heal
items. Head for a tall complex(I mean tallllllll). Begin grapple hooking
upwards, above the curtains(those shingle type things on the outside of
buildings)anyways, proceed upwards until you see Onikage. A brief
cutscene will occur and prepare to fight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onikage HP:200
Fighting him is easy, basically use the same strategy as in Stage 6.
Sometimes he will leap out onto the roof and you can fight there. He
isn't all that difficult, after supposedly defeating him he disappears.
You will then begin Mission 10, the final stage.
________________________________________________________________________
Mission 10: The princess is being held captive
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 10: Free the princess Kiku
This stage is extremely long and hard; Bring all the medicine you have
and grenades ect, as well as some shurikens for a few areas. You begin
at the entrance to the temple. The guards here are extremely powerful so
do your best not to get in a fight with them, as they can give some big
damage. Make your way to the central altar slowly, polishing off the
troops as they come. The door to the main courtyard has 4 guards around
so dispose of them. Hide behind some object(pillars) so you can sneak up
on the guards. Dogs are pretty much hidden behind a few pillars near a
crossing. Make sure to kill all the guards before you go upto the altar,
since any left over soldiers will join in the fight with the boss to
kill you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onikage HP 200
Onikage uses martial art attacks on you which cause massive damage when
chained. Use your grenades and mines on him to dispose of him quickly.
Make sure you have plenty of healing potions here. Dodge his attack and
then counter. Lay mines, and toss grenades. You might see him regain
another 200 health, well repeat the above and you should slaughter
him(it only refills once). You will start in an underground cave from
which you must navigate through to reach the end boss.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use every single skill at your command to kill the guards. You'll want
to get over to the river of flowing lava. Once you reach this point
grapple accross. Go through the corridors, follow pathways that go on a
decline(downward slant) and you should come to an area with a dead end,
with a lava pit in front of you and a cave to the right of your
position. Move yourself to the left as best you can and grapple to the
right. Aim it inwards as you must not make a mistake. Follow the caves
downward and you should see a pathway or bridge that will take you to
the bottom of the lava pit. Proceed down it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord Mei-oh HP: 250
This boss is a bit tricky. He uses lighting against you and sword
swipes. Best strategy is to attack him after the lighting and continue
hitting him so he doesnt get a chance to attack. If you feel this isn't
working, use your mines, grenades, shurikens ect..If your HP is low run
far away from him and Heal yourself. Be careful of his other sword moves
as well. Just remain calm and in no time you should have him licked. Sit
back and watch the ending.

1)Throat Slit - Simply sneak behind your victim and press square.
2)Stab and Toss - Happens when your opponent is facing you or when he is
just turning toward you.
3)Neck Breaker - Happens when you are facing away from your opponent,
(you have to be facing back to back with your victim). It's a lot easier
to try this on people who are standing still.
4)Decapitation - ???. I'm still working on this one. It happens a lot to
me on the 4th level (American version) when you really have to chase
after people. It may be random, but I doubt it.

Some of u may have noticed that a few parts of the walkthrough seemed
similiar to WZafrans. Some of the parts were indeed taken from his faq,
and those were minute, but I would like to thank WZafrans for the
information. You can reach him at
