¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I remember when Tenchu came out and was a silent success due to Metal
Gear Solid. But now that MGS has passed, Tenchu 2 deserves the right
for glory and it has succeeded although it has gotten fairly bad
reviews. I feel that it is a brilliant effort and might be a little
biased since there isn't anything to compare this game to - since it is
a fairly new category (ninja sim).
Now on to the review...
Story: 10/10
This is taken from the instruction booklet:
The old regime has fallen, and civil war now threatens to tear Japan
apart. Regional warlords, blind with ambition, wage bloody campaigns
for territory in the hope of one day hoisting their flag over the
imperial city.
Only Lord Gohda Matsunoshin places the welfare of his subjects over his
own ambitions, and forsakes the brutal power struggle. His just and
compassionate rule earns him the love and respect of his people and the
hatred of his rivals.
For generations uncounted, the House of Gohda has called upon the Azuma
Ninja in times of need. In his darkest hour, Gohda Matsunoshin again
requests the help of the mysterious shadow warriors. When three young
ninja step forward to save the House of Gohda, they find themselves in
a fierce battle with a sinister force that threatens to change the
course of history.
A little note to add: The story will make you go through a full range
of emotions and I never thought a game could do this to me since Final
Fantasy VII.
Visuals: 8/10
The graphics are a mixed bag... maybe I am spoilt with all the next gen
console graphics but when I see this game it kind of makes me wish it
was on a new console. Although don't get me wrong this is one of the
best graphics for the PSX but there is still a fair share of clipping
and pixellation.
But the levels are fairly big and the character animation is spot on. A
great job!
Audio: 8/10
What happened to the music? Well that and the way Ayame sounds is the
only faults I could find with the Audio. All sounds immerse you into
the game further and I guess without the music it makes you feel you
are actually there.
Gameplay: 8/10
The game play has stayed the same from the first other then a few other
features.
You can now drag bodies which comes in handy sometimes and there is a
Mission editor where you can make your own levels. So this makes the
game have a lot of replay value. The camera angles and control still
are glitchy but the more you play the game the better you get.
The game plays very similar to the original Tenchu being that you are a
Ninja assigned to certain tasks and you should undergo these tasks
using stealth and a wide arrange of stealth kills, the stealth kills
have to be seen to believed although they can't be skipped and you will
get attacked by other enemies whilst still finished the animation.
-----
Overall: 9/10
One of the final good quality PSX games... a must buy!

When I first started the game I had problems with the controls so why
not add the controls to the FAQ/Walkthrough? Also note that I am using
the PAL version of the game so controls might differ to the NTSC
version.

-------------------[06]-[ Questions & Answers ]-------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Q. I've heard you can chop a guard's head off but I can't seem to do
it why not?
A. Well since censors are so tough in European states all PAL games
have taken the feature out so you wont be able to behead a enemy if
you have the PAL version of the game, but if you have the NTSC
version then you might be able to do it if you are lucky. I've
heard that it only happens at random but unfortunately I own the
PAL version which means I can't behead a guard as well :(
Responses:
>> A way to decapitate people, you must run for about 3-4 seconds
straight at the enemy without stopping or turning and press SQUARE
at the last second. Be careful to not bump into the person or you'll
get a different kill. It's hard, but not impossible. I've done this
kill 4 times. To amputate, it's very hard. The only time I
amputated someone is in the gang of thieves with Rikimaru. I went on
house with the thief with the scythes under the roof. I jumped
slightly to the left or right as to hit his arm, not the head, and
pressed SQUARE. I did this move twice.
[ WhoisyerDADDAY (GameFAQs Message Board) ]
(Hint: Use the cloak of invisibility to make decapitation easier)
>> I beg to differ ; and not bring the whole subject up again but after
playing for numerous hour on my PS2 on the training level with Rik.
I went up as close as possible to the enemy and held square and at a
very precise time tap R1. by doing this I have beheaded 3 guards on
that very same level!
I have also beheaded 2 guards when playing on my psx.
So I have councluded that by following these steps you increase the
chance of decapitation.
[ SHODIN - GMB ]
My Response:
I have heard that decapitation is not that big of a deal so those
of you out there who have the PAL version - Like me! - you are not
missing out on much. Don't worry about it too much as the game is
not just good because of the stealth kills, the more you play it
you will find out all the hidden goodies that the game holds.
Q. What other features are taken out of the PAL game?
A. Well other then the above feature, shurikens have been changed to
knives and some sound effects (anyone know which ones?) have been
taken out.
Q. How do I drag a dead body?
A. Well you have to be on a flat surface otherwise it won't work and
all you do is go up to the body and hold R1 and Circle then move
your character and if it worked your character should have hold of
the body with one hand and would be dragging him/her on the floor.
Q. What is the Ki meter?
A. The ki meter tells you how close you are to a enemy and whether the
enemy is aware of you. The number beneath the ki meter will grow
depending on how close you are, for example you would be very close
to an enemy if it says '86' but if it says '10' you wouldn't be
close to the enemy.
Q. What are those symbols on the ki meter and what do they mean?
A. Well this information is taken from the PAL instruction booklet:
The Ki meter reads four different emotional states:
(?) You are near another enemy, but the character hasn't sensed
your presence.
(!) The enemy has sensed something, but doesn't yet know what or
who you are.
(!?) The enemy is in a heightened state of alert. Move carefully
and hide until the enemy goes back to normal state.
(!!) The enemy has spotted you and is preparing to attack. It's
too late to hide now, you must either attack or run away.
Q. The ki meter when to (!) but it wasn't an enemy character.
A. Yeh that's a problem as the Ki meter cannot tell the difference
between an enemy character and a civilian.
Q. At the end of the mission I got a score, how is this score worked
out?
A. Well you get 20 points for each stealth kill you do, and for each
normal kill you do you get 5 points. If you are not spotted during
the whole mission you get 300 points, but for each time you are
spotted 30 points is removed from your end score. If you kill a
civilian you lose 150 points.
Q. Why can you drag a dead body even though the enemies don't even
notice the bodies?
A. They actually do notice the bodies of their fallen friends
occasionally during the game not as much as I would like them to
but yeh dragging is pretty useless as you can't drag up hills or
down hills or anywhere bumpy as your character will automatically
let go.
But Tenchu 2 does have its faults even though its still at brilliant
game!
Q. Are each characters storyline different?
A. Yes! To get the full storyline in Tenchu 2 you will have to play
through the game with each of the 3 characters... Rikimaru, Ayame
and Tatsumaru.
Q. What weapon does Rikimaru use throughout the game?
A. Rikimaru's main weapon was not a Katana as previously though but
thanks to [email protected] who says this:
His weapon is a shinobigatana, the shorter, straight bladed sworded
with a 30 degree angled tip generally favored by the ninja (If for
no other reason than that they were homemade, as the common ninja
was not permitted to own a sword).
Thanks for clearing that up :)
The weapon is pretty powerful and has a good attack range.
Q. What weapon does Ayame use throughout the game?
A. Well she uses a pair of daggers, which have a very short range but
she is quick with them.
Q. What weapon does Tatsumaru use throughout the game?
A. Well he mainly uses his hands but for some of his stealth kills he
can use his sword.
Q. What's the maximum number of items that you can carry?
A. The maximum number of items that you can carry on any one mission
is 12.
Q. What are your Item limits?
A. You are limited to bringing five types of items plus your grappling
hook. But note that you can pick up extra items from dead enemies.
Q. Why aren't all the Items being shown on the Item screen?
A. Well you have to earn them by achieving a rank of Grand Master (See
Grand Master section)
Q. Is there a way to cancel the use of an item?
A. Yes there is while holding Triangle press Square and the item you
were about to use will be deselected.
Q. What is the difference between Normal and Hard difficulty?
A. Well the following features are different:
-> Enemies have a longer field of vision
-> Enemies stay on alert longer
-> The enemies can throw grenades and shurikens (knives)
-> When bodies fall they alert enemies that are close by
Q. Why when I use Poison Rice to kill an enemy it doesn't count as a
stealth kill?
A. Well I'm not sure but you weren't able to kill someone with Poison
Rice in Tenchu 2 and I never have so I'm not sure that it is even
possible. Correct me if I am wrong.
Q. Can you tell me the code for the Debug menu?
A. Nope! Nah seriously there is one for Tenchu but I'm not sure if
one will surface for Tenchu 2 but all cheats and gameshark codes
are located at the bottom of this FAQ/Walkthrough.
Q. I want to play one of those user levels but don't know how to
get it on my memory card.
A. Well you need a Dex Drive to be able to download the levels onto
your PSX Memory Card. Hook the dex drive up to your computer,
send the level to the dex drive, insert your memory card and start
downloading.
Q. How come so many ninja's names end with 'maru'? does anyone know
what it actually means?
[ Fire Phoenix - GMB ]
A. Maru means Round or Yen
[ Grimdog - GMB ]
Q. What's the poem which is displayed when you die with Rikimaru?
A. Here:
Bright and Cold, the flash of steel.
Alone I roam over deserted fields.
My sword I need no longer.
The evening wind will carry me home.
Q. What's the poem which is displayed when you die with Ayame?
A. Here:
My face burns with crimson fire.
My hair is a tangled mass.
But at last my heart is clear.
The Moon will not brighten this long night.
Q. What's the poem which is displayed when you die with Tatsumaru?
A. Here:
He has travelled the six worlds.
Do his eyes remain in this transiet world?
The path he followed, he chose not.
Now he floats higher then any shadow.
Q. Umm Ive beaten several stages without any spots yet i do not get
the grand master rank. Aslo on a certain stage i was spotted once
but i still got a grand master ranking but my score was below 600.
Most stages i can do without being spotted and i believe i kill
everybody but my score is still ussually the required 600pts. I'm
only up to the 'demon' bandit stage but i wanna know how come im
only getting expert ninja score. I'm getting so mad at this game!!!
[ Luminaire - GMB ]
A. You need minimum 15 stealth kills for GM without being spotted once.
well, there are some rules of thumbs here..
First, try kill all enemies w/o getting spot on any mission..
Never kill an innocent if you do you will be penalize -150 points.
On the mission w/ 15 or more enemies you can get grand master
ranking if you get at least 600 points..
also you can use the following table to figure out how many
spot do you allow to have..
16 or less enemies 0 spot..
17 enemies 1 spot
18 -19 enemies 2 spots
20 enemies 3 spots
21-22 enemies 4 spots
23 enemies 5 spots
24-25 enemies 6 spots
26 enemies 7 spots
27-28 enemies 8 spots
29 enemies 9 spots
30-31 enemies 10
E=number of an enemies that you are planning to stealth kill on
each level,
S=number of spots you are allow to have.
assuming that you know the number of E then
S <= (20E - 300)/30..

Q. I have Tenchu 2 game and I try to Use the codes for the Health
power to ge the power meter to 100%. the code was Pause the game,
then hold Square and press Left, Right, Up, Down. But it dident
work and the code to increase Item don't seem to work either. also
the game shark codes don't work for Tenchu 2 game I don't know what
to do.
Do I need to star a new mission or get the training finish.
[ [email protected] ]
A. Well The PAL Codes are different to the NTSC codes so if you have
the PAL version then look at the bottom of this FAQ for the codes,
If you have the NTSC version then look at GameFAQs for the codes.
Q. Ok I have a Question about tenchu 2 game. where is the Item
Selection screen, because I tryied this code to unlock all the
itmes.
Unlock All Ninja Items
From the Item selection screen
Press: SQUARE, SQUARE, SQUARE, CIRCLE, SQUARE, CIRCLE, CIRCLE,
LEFT, UP, DOWN, RIGHT, R2, R2.
[ [email protected] ]
A. The Item Selection screen shows up just before the mission starts.
You must enter the code there.
Q. How old are each of the characters in Tenchu 2?
A. Well Ayame is 16 in Tenchu 2 and Rikimaru is 20 and Tatsumaru is
around the age of 23.
Q. How many years after Tenchu 2 does Tenchu 1 take place?
A. Around 5 years... considering that Ayame is around 21 in Tenchu 1
then that would make it a 5 year time gap.
Q. How many locations are available in the Mission Editor?
A. For this answer I will let jimbojan from GameFAQs explain:
Yes, there are 12 to get including "Dojo" but the last one "Office"
as far as I know can only be got with a secret keycode (controller
inputted cheat code) The US one and the PAL one are different and
can be got in databases here (at GameFAQs) and other sites like
Gamewinners etc. When you input this code you also get
"Tenchu,Inc." in the custom missions. Making the total custom
missions for you to play and complete to 15. There is also a
controller code that lets you re-edit any custom missions you have
completed. US & PAL codes are different again.
(All PAL Codes can be found at the bottom of this FAQ - StarbladeX2)
Q. How can I submit my Custom Missions to sites?
A. It's very similar to played one of those of the net. You need a
Dexdrive and you hook up your memory card to the Dexdrive and
transfer them from your memory card to the Dexdrive and then
you can email them to the website owners.
Q. How do you kill the cat?
A. Well I haven't tested this out yet but thanks to
buds [ [email protected] ] we have a way to kill the cats :)
(hopefully)
Well, its about the question on how to kill the cat in
the Tatsumaru stage (Labor Shortage). I got a good
method how to kill the damn cat ^-^
1. Kill the old woman (sorry grandma) cause she'll
cause trouble
2.Go to the roof and let it eat at least three
poisoned rice balls
3. Shoot at least 2 flaming arrows.
4.Shoot three darts at it (blowgun) and it will be
stunned
5. Drag it to the water and voila! Floating cat!!!
Dead!!!!
Thanks again buds.
Note: I do not like the idea of killing the cats as cats are cute
and I have one. So only kill the cats if you hate them in real
life and you are a dog-fan. If you arn't, then leave them alone!
What did they ever do to you? Sure they alert other ninjas but I
mean you shouldn't have got in their view in the first place, now
should you?
__ ____________
------------------------[07]-[ Characters ]-----------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You will take control of 3 characters in Tenchu 2 - Rikimaru, Ayame and
Tatsumaru.
To give you a little bit of knowledge about the background of each of
the characters here is the summary of each taken out of the Tenchu 2
PAL Instruction booklet:
--[ Main Characters ]--
[ Rikimaru ]
Diligent and unassuming, Rikimaru has worked steadily since childhood
to become a skilled shadow warrior. As a ninja, his self-confidence
and sense of destiny is unshakeable. He would lay down his life for
his lord without a moment's doubt.
[ Ayame ]
Ayame is the youngest of the Azuma Ninja. Ignoring the ancient
traditions of female ninja, Ayame has developed a unique style of
fighting that perfectly matches her wild, rebellious personality.
[ Tatsumaru ]
The senior pupil of Azuma Shiunsai, Tatsumaru has trained together with
Rikimaru and Ayame for years. His physical prowess and skill with the
sword is matched by a few. He has been raised since childhood to
someday succeed Azuma Shiunsai as the leader of the Azuma Ninja.
--[ Other characters in the Tenchu 2 game (unplayable ones) ]--
[ Azuma Shiunsai ]
Shiunsai adopted Rikimaru, Ayame, and Tatsumaru as infants and raised
them to be Azuma Ninja. He is both their teacher and their father
figure. Although he has slowed down some in his old age, Shiunsai is
still a very deadly swordsman. He has recently decided to step down as
head of the Azuma Ninja.
[ Gohda Matsunoshin ]
The current leader of the House of Gohda and the ruler of the Gohda
Domain, Matsunoshin is known to be a just and compassionate ruler.
Matsunoshin's family has employed the Azuma Ninja as shadow warriors
for generations.
[ Kagami ]
A mysterious female ninja who leads the secret society known as the
Burning Dawn, Kagami is ruthlessly pursuing her dream of a world ruled
by the ninja. Her plans will bring her into conflict with both the
House of Gohda and the Azuma Ninja.
__ _________
-------------------------[08]-[ Enemies ]-------------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[ Civilians ]
Although they do not attack they still pose a threat, as they will
spot you and bring on the attention go the Guards. Just make sure you
run and hide after they have spotted you and wait until everything
cools down and remember never kill the innocent!
[ Guard (Spear) ]
I hate these guards and whenever I see them I try to run away and get
a stealth kill when they don't suspect anything. If you are in a
1 on 1 fight with one, never go up close as his spear is very long and
you wont have a chance from front on. Try strafeing and attack when he
stops attacking.
[ Guard (Bow) ]
Easy enough to defeat from close up but from far away they can cause
quite a bit of damage. Just run up to them and keep attacking and they
should fall easy enough. Also try use them to your advantage by
getting them to shoot other enemies :) It's also a funny way of
killing them.
[ Guard (Sword) ]
Pretty hard to defeat as if you run away they will fall and more then
likely swipe your back. Just block and attack and also strafeing helps
as well. If you have more then 1 of these enemies on you - I have one
word to say ... RUN!
[ Guard (Scythe) ]
A pretty cool enemy with a huge Scythe! Pretty easy to defeat but they
are quick. I just wish we could be able to use Scythes in the game!
Hmm maybe in Tenchu 3?
[ Guard (Claw) ]
This chick enemy is noone to mess with, she is quick and powerful. But
if you keep blocking and attacking, they can be easily defeated.

-----------------------[09]-[ Walkthrough ]-----------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
--[ RIKIMARU ]--
This walkthrough is not intended for you to attain "Grandmaster" status
it is just a guide for you to follow in passing Rikimaru's missions. I
will try not to give out any crucial plot details.
>> TRAINING LEVEL
Basically what the name of the level says a "training level", pretty
simple in that all you have to do is follow Master's instructions and
work on things like throwing knives.
Work your way through each task and proceed to the house up on top of
the cliff.
You will then be dropped into a cave at the bottom of the house.
Take your time with the stage and practive more on your controls, think
of this stage as a practice level. If you can't pass this stage then
keep trying because once you get the feel of the level and the controls
it will be very easy.
Keep a look out for high places you could use your grappling hook on.
>> GANG OF THIEVES
When you first start head down the rock cliff and head towards the east
till you come to an open area with wooden houses, on the left are red
pillars and at the top of the stairs is an enemy - kill him then keep
going up the stairs until you see another enemy, once you kill him go
towards the door which is partly open and you will see the next cut
scene.
[ How to fight the boss ] Keep far away from him and when he goes to
pull out his pipe run to the back of him and starting swiping. Make
sure you don't walk into the smoke as it will leave you blinded for a
bit and then he could attack you. Keep staying back and then attack
when he least expects it.
>> TREASON AT GOHDA CASTLE
What you have to do with this mission is make your way to the top of
the castle, this is pretty simple as all you have to do is walk around
each level (make sure enemies don't spot you as you will have a good
fight on your hands) till you see a ramp and head up the ramp till you
get to a level where there is nowhere to go. You will see some white
doors, chop them and make your way to the next section and then follow
the ramps up till you get to Lord Gohda's chamber. Note that in this
level there are enemies with spears do not try to attack them face on
as the spears are longer then your sword so you will be getting hit a
lot, try for a stealth kill. Also there are parts in the level where
you will see fallen wooden boards, which look like they lead to a
higher level, but you cannot go up these boards as they only hit the
roof.
[ How to fight the boss ] Just attack until he is down to little
health then the screen will cut
>> LORD TODA'S WAR CAMP
All you have to do to get pass the level is keep going north all the
time using your grapling hook to go up onto the higher levels and then
you just run up the end hill and into the opening to Lord Toda's War
Camp, you will see it there is just one enemy outside it and when you
enter the opening the cut scene will appear.
[ How to fight the boss ] To defeat Suzaku all you have to do is run
up and attack him and try not to let him get any attacks in if he does
just block his attacks. You don't have to worry about killing him, as
the game will cut to a cut scene as soon as he is at low health. But
don't worry you will finish him off in one of Rikimaru's later
missions.
>> DEMON MOUNTAIN
Use your grappling hook to climb the big mountain and once you are at
the top head right until you come to a gap between two rocks. Jump
into the middle and head towards the left until you come to a stream,
do not cross the stream but instead turn right until you come to quite
a few pillars use the grappling hook and shoot the top of the pillar
which is the closest to the rock face on the left then jump on to the
rock and stealth kill the enemy there (very easy stealth kill just hide
behind the rock until he turns around then kill him). You will see a
little pillar in the gap between the two mountains, jump onto the
pillar then wait until the enemy turns around and jump onto the other
mountain. Jump up onto the higher level and make your way across the
bridge and you will then see the screen fade.
[ How to fight the boss ] Very easy to beat, all you have to do is
strike him hard until he falls off and then jump down and keep running
away and coming back and striking him. Do this until dead.
>> THE SECRET HARBOR
All you have to do is head straight until you come to the ocean and
head along the shoreline until you come to the jetty then jump on the
boat, head to the left and fight the boss. Be careful of the enemies in
this level, as there are riflemen that are hidden in the rocks ready to
pick you off and also try not to venture out into the ocean, as there
is a hungry shark. Something cool to do is kill an enemy and try to
make him fall into the water and watch the shark come and eat him. :)
[ How to fight the boss ] The boss you are fighting is Xiang, a very
fast boss who can quickly take a lot of energy of you if you are
unprepared. Just circle the middle pole and attack him from behind.
>> THE TEMPLE OF DREAMS
When you start head around the temple heading north until you come to a
smaller temple, enter the east side of the temple and await the boss.
[ How to fight the boss ] Yukihotaru is the boss who is Suzaku's
girlfriend. She is pretty easy to beat all you have to do is make sure
you do not get led into a corner as it is very very hard to get out of
that, just finish her off up close.
>> NINJA VILLAGE UNDER ATTACK
The whole idea of this mission is to kill every enemy on the stage.
Not a real hard mission but a fun one indeed. The level is kind of
like a square so go to one corner and sweep the area before heading to
the next corner. Make sure to check the passage in between the bamboo
trees as well as there is one guy there as well. Have fun
[ How to fight the boss ] You will fight your friend Tatsumaru in this
one. The fight is pretty hard as Tatsumaru is very quick but if you
keep attacking and blocking you will be able to get him down to low
health ready for the next cut scene to kick in.
>> IN PURSUIT OF TATSUMARU
Another one of those head north levels. Just keep a watch out for
bowman and those girls with the huge claws as they roam around the
level. So all you do is keep heading north from where you start off.
Simple isn't it?
[ How to fight the boss ] You will be up against Byakko this time
around and he is a little guy (midget actually) who can do some damage.
Just keep doing low hits such as hitting when crouching and you will
defeat him quite easily.
>> THE KANSEN CAVERNS
You will start in the beginning of the cavern, head straight and down
into a gap in the cavern, then jump into the water and swim to you get
to the ledge and jump onto the ledge. Head straight until you get to a
higher level and jump up and then turn right through the tunnel. Now
make your way through the maze section (it is pretty hard to give you
the directions through this maze as there is many routes to take but
they all end heading into the same area). Once you end up at the end
of the tunnel you will make way for a cut scene. Be careful with this
level as there is many enemies and many traps. Make sure you have a
lot of anecdote because you will be poisoned a couple of times as well.
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss
>> SEA BATTLE
A pretty easy level you will start off on a shore so jump in the water
and swim north-west all the way past all the boats until you come to a
massive boat (you will know which one it is trust me). You will see a
part where the huge boat attaches itself to a medium sized boat, so
jump on the medium sized boat and stealth kill the bowman there. Walk
to the end point of the boat and you will see, Suzaku one of the end
bosses. He will talk to you for a bit then you will battle him.
[ How to fight the boss ] Just keep backing away and try to lose him
then catch him surprised and start swiping. Repeat until he is dead.
The screen will fade away now and you will appear on another boat just
keep heading north but watch out for enemies. Once you come to the
point where you can't go north any more, go towards the left side of
the boat and jump onto the other boat next to it. The Screen will fade
and you will see another cut scene making way to battle the last boss
of Rikimaru's missions, Kagami.
[ How to fight the boss ] Just keep hitting her until she falls over
then go around her so her back is facing your front and hit her. She
will fall over and repeat until the next cut scene (she changes weapons
from a fan to a sword). Since she is using a sword now it has a greater
range plus the sword can sometimes penetrate your block. All I can say
is run until she loses you and attack when she can't see you. Or even
go on higher ground and jump down and attack. Good luck, but don't
worry its not as hard as it seems.
Once you have beaten her, sit back and relax and watch the end movie.
Congratulations you have completed all of Rikimaru's missions.
--[ AYAME ]--
This walkthrough is not intended for you to attain "Grandmaster" status
it is just a guide for you to follow in passing Ayame's missions. I
will try not to give out any crucial plot details.
>> TRAINING LEVEL
Pretty much the same as Rikimaru's Training level, follow the
instructions and work your way through each task and make way to the
house on the top of cliff.
Use the tips I gave you in Rikimaru's mission.
>> THE MOUNTAIN BANDITS
Keep heading to the forward and to the right and head towards a house
against a cliff where you will find the bandit's leader. You will not
have to worry about much in this level, as most of the enemies are easy
to stealth kill.
[ How to fight the boss ] A easy boss to defeat but you only have a
small fighting area. A good way to beat him is to hide and sneak up
behind him and attack his back. Keep repeating for an easy victory.
>> LADY KEI IN DANGER
Another fairly easy mission. Enter the building and watch out for
innocent people. Keep making your way along and keep a look out for
breakable walls and keep on advancing through the level getting stealth
kills along the way.
[ How to fight the boss ] This boss is very slow and you will only
have to take off half of his health meter before the mission ends.
Just run around and attack his back.
>> TO SAVE A PRINCESS
A pretty hard mission as if you are spotted the mission ends. Just
sneak slowly and use the look (L1) button to see where the enemies are.
Keep wandering advancing forward until the screen cuts just as you
approach the outside of a building.
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss.
>> KUBON ISLAND
All you have to do is find an entrance to the middle of the island.
You can do that by swimming around the outside of the island looking
for the entrance whilst stealth killing enemies. It's a fairly easy
level as if you get spotted and you haven't got much health jump into
the water and press Stealth (R1) until you lose them.
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss.
>> THE ISLAND FORT
All you have to do is wander around looking for a place with columns
and a one single enemy at the front and enter the building to fight the
boss. This is another level with water so do the same as the last
level if you get in trouble.
[ How to fight the boss ] A harder boss then before and the fighting
area doesn't allow for hiding so you can't do the hide then attack from
behind trick that was so popular before. A good way to defeat him is
to just keep advance attacking (which means run towards him and attack)
and try to knock him on the ground then circle around to his back and
attack him from there.
Repeat for defeat!
>> THE QUARANTINE VILLAGE
A fairly hard level as there is a lot of innocent civilians and a lot
of enemies bundled together. Just make sure you look around before
performing stealth kills. The boss is located in the area with stairs
between two red poles.
[ How to fight the boss ] Well there is actually 3 bosses to defeat.
Not one after another but 3 at the same time! So that means you have
to be ready to attack at any given moment and also to attack from any
side of Ayame's body. Use the two poles located there to dodge the
bosses and attack them. Just use all of the boss strategies that where
used earlier in the FAQ/Walkthrough to defeat them.
>> CHERRY TREE HILL
Make your way to the north area of the level and head towards the
cherry tree. There is quite alot of enemies here so be careful, also
watch out for wolves and civilians as well.
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss.
>> IN PURSUIT OF TATSUMARU
A very easy level to navigate through, all you have to do is make your
way through the bamboo forest. Keep a look out for health and items as
you will need it when fighting the boss. Make your way to the center
of the level to fight the boss.
[ How to fight the boss ] You will be fighting a Tiger here so the
Tiger is quick and its attacks are low. Just keep strafeing to avoid
its attacks and hit when he isn't close. Do not let it get close to
you as you really have no chance of blocking all of its attacks. It
has a lot of hit points so keep running, hacking and strafeing and if
you have any items use them to your advantage. Good luck!
>> THE KANSEN CAVERNS
A pretty easy level to get through but it contains booby traps. Just
make your way through the cave avoiding all traps as best as you can
and stealth killing the enemies. Make your way to the cave opening
towards the upper-right section of the map.
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss.
>> FIRE DEMON
Your mission will be set on a ship. All you have to do make your way
through the ship grappling to upper levels and avoiding innocents and
traps and killing the enemies (make sure you search them for items).
You will then come to a set of stairs leading to the outside of the
ship, go up them and await the first boss.
[ How to fight the boss ] You will fight the slow Genbu again but this
time you will have to finish him off. Use the same techniques that you
used before on him (i.e. attack his back). Try to save some items for
the upcoming boss. The best way to defeat Genbu is to try to get him
to go over the top of the torch's as he will get burnt and will be
vulnerable for a second or two and that is the best time to attack him,
this technique will take off at least 50 points of health.
You will then fight Tatsumaru.
[ How to fight the boss ] A easy boss to defeat. Use the objects
around you to help in his defeat. An easy tactic is to lose him and
attack him from behind. He seems to block more attacks when he is
low on health so be careful and he also is pretty fast with his
attacks so make sure you don't let your guard down.
Repeat to defeat and complete Ayame's missions! hehe :)
--[ TATSUMARU ]--
This walkthrough is not intended for you to attain "Grandmaster" status
it is just a guide for you to follow in passing Tatsumaru's missions.
I will try not to give out any crucial plot details.
>> A SHADOW
The easiest way to complete this level is to head towards the highest
peak of the level and grapple up to the top where you will face the
boss, watch out for big drops where you will die instantly if you
fall down.
[ How to fight the boss ] The easiest way to defeat this boss is to
block all his attacks and then straight away attack him and keep
doing this until you defeat him. It's an easy yet effective way of
defeating enemies.
>> THE HEAD OF LORD TODA
When you start, turn around and just keep heading straight over the
hills until you reach the camp entrance where the screen will cut
and you will face the boss.
[ How to fight the boss ] A pretty hard fight as you will be
fighting the boss, a bowman and a spearman. First attack the
spearman and wipe him out and always keep a guard between you and
the bowman so the bowman will hit the guard. Once finished with the
spearman and the bowman then start attacking the main boss. He is
pretty tough so make sure you always have enough room to dodge his
attacks and counter-attack. A good trick is to get him to go over
the top of the torch so he will be burnt :D
Once you have defeated that boss you will then fight another boss.
[ How to fight the boss ] You just have to get her health down to
about 50 points before the screen cuts. The best way to defeat her
is to Dash Attack (see tips section) and only block when she starts
attacking.
>> LABOR SHORTAGE
The aim of this level is to score 8 kills without being spotted. If
you are spotted it's an instant game over. So it's a pretty easy
level.
Make sure you check your surroundings before going in for the kill
as there might be 2 enemies close together, so when you kill one
you instantly get spotted by the other enemy which would mean game
over. Do not kill the innocent!
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss.
>> GUARDING THE SECRET HARBOR
Similar to the level 'labor shortage' in that you have to score kills
without being spotted by this time its not 8 kills its all the enemies
on the playing field. This time its pretty hard because most enemies
field of vision overlap each other so if you go in for a stealth kill,
chances are that you will be spotted halfway though the kill. All I
can say is make sure you look at the area you are about to attack and
make sure that any 2 enemies in the area are facing the other way. It
may be best not to let the stealth kill animation kick in, you can do
this by attacking as quickly as you can or doing a combo.
[ How to fight the boss ] A boss with very powerful attacks. Just
make sure that you don't let your guard down when he is attacking
otherwise you will lose quite a bit of health. The easiest way to
defeat the boss is to get behind him and attack him and keep
repeating until he goes down.
>> NO MERCY UNLOCKED
Exactly the same aim as the level before. Eliminate all enemies on
the level. This time there is even more enemies wandering around the
place, so looking before attacking is vital for your survival. Just
use all the same techniques you did in the previous 2 levels and you
will be fine.
[ How to fight the boss ] No boss.
>> ASSUALT ON NINJA VILLAGE
Head towards the house on the north-east corner of the map and you
will fight the boss. Watch out for enemies and make sure you
search them for fallen items.
[ How to fight the boss ] This boss has powerful attacks as well.
Use the technique that you learnt in "Guarding the secret harbor"
to defeat him. Note that the fighting area isn't very big so you
don't have much room for defense.
>> THE FINAL DAWN
You will have to eliminate every single enemy in this mission and
once you have done that you will fight the boss. Search the boats
for potions and make sure that you search every boat for enemies
as you might think you have killed everyone but there will be one
lone enemy in the corner of the map or something.
[ How to fight the boss ] The final boss is lightning fast but
you should be able to defeat him by using the main technique;
get behind him and attack.
Once you have defeated the boss you have completed all of
Tatsumaru's missions. Congratulations!
Sit back and enjoy the final movie...

The above section was taken out of the PAL Instruction booklet.
I have decided to expand this section by adding some techniques you
can use whilst playing a User Made Level, some hints and tips in
making one and where to go to get some levels and pretty much anything
else that has to do with the Mission Editor.
Why did I add more info? Well as you know the above Mission Editor
info was taken from the PAL Tenchu 2 Manual and it doesn't give the
user everything he/she needs to know. Plus I know people have
passed the game and usually spend the rest of their time mucking
around with the Mission Editor... so here we go!
--[ Techniques ]--
Here are some user submitted techniques when making or playing a
mission:
The first thing I noticed when playing user missions is that I
tended to seek out the black border of the board, the 'nullspace',
then follow it around the whole board. Makes great sense, you don't
get lost and you know nobody's going to attack you from the nullspace
side.
So one of the best rules of thumb in creating a user level is to cover
the nullspace as much as is humanly possible. Do this and you can really
disorient the player and make it feel like the playing area is much,
much larger than it really is. Jimbojan's levels do this very well.
A common error is that many creators seem to think that the more
enemies, the better. It's quality not quantity, guys. Use fewer foes and
set them up more carefully. When too many foes are packed into a level
it becomes a glitchy mess. Nothing is more frustrating than playing a
Retrieval level and having the enemies carrying the scrolls disappear.
Another common problem is that the creator seems to be only looking at
his level from the viewpoint of the mission editor--from above. You see
plenty of levels that are super symetrical when viewed from above, but
flat and predictable to wander around in as a player.
Many user levels fall into two categories. They're either hard, obstacle
courses that aren't much fun to explore, or picturesque, detailed
environments with little gameplay value. Ya gotta have both. Azuma's
levels show how well balanced this can get.
Personally, I like levels that seem to create a real, believable, place.
A big part of the thrill of Tenchu comes from stealing into the
stronghold of your enemies, exploring their defenses, then wiping them
out. Many user levels are pretty abstract, just collections of features
that don't really come together, so this particular thrill is gone.
Don't get me wrong. I play any and all Tenchu user levels I find (get
most of them from Gamefaqs, Xenith's site, and Raynaldo Ray), and I get
a kick out of all of them. But only about 30% make it to my "keeper"
memory card file.
[ John Hocking - GMB ]
~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~
Techniques when making a mission: Test, test, test. A lot of user
missions seem to have "blinking" enemies; one of the reasons may be that
the creator only tested one possible path to the enemy instead of
several paths.
Personally, I like making missions with enemy placement that requires
patience and timing. Instead of waiting for one guard to stupidly turn
his back, you may have to wait for the moment where two turn their
backs; possibly having to wait through several cycles of their
prescribed path for them both to turn their backs at the right moment
and in the right sequence. I don't know if that is the way my missions
have ended up playing for other people, but for the most part that is
the way they are intended; particularly "Hesitation Kills." I like the
idea of a ninja being skilled enough to wait for the right moment to
kill two people in an area in one flight; and taking this moment by
instinct and without hesitation. Hence, the titles "Hesitation Kills"
and "It hits all by itself."
[ smallmouth - GMB ]
~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~
I like to set up clever traps or nasty traps were you need to use
the grappling hook. For instance you can't leap across a three square
gap and if you put a four square high cliff that you need to grapple
and put two pits then for the third put a slow moving pit. they have
to be fast at stopping and aiming then throw the hook before they fall
to there death. Another one of my favorites is to put down a three high
arrow trap or a two high and put a bunch of switches down the hall.
Every time they step on the switch a arrow shoots so if you put down
four switches... well lets say pin pillow. Have a hallway with quick
dropping pitfalls then at the end have a arrow trap that is two high
with four switches. behind it put a arrow or rifle man behind it on a
three high have him look down the hall occasionally. If the player gets
shot they fall to there doom.
[ kain920411 - GMB ]
~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~
One really clever trick that I first saw in a level by Azuma is to
place a group of 4 high blocks with a gate on top of it (gate is one of
the items in cavern and village). That way the player can see what is
on the other side of the gate but they can't get to it.
Also the number of items you can place in a level is limited so you
must plan wisely lest you run out and have to leave a large portion of
your mission bare of the image enhancing items.

One thing I do in most levels is get large walls (A type of texture
which goes all the way to the top), and I wrap it around the whole
level. I do lot's of tests, Make sure if there isn't some way to make
my ground pattern go with the surroundings, Include paths for Tatsumaru
alone, make traps, secret paths, and always make sure the boss can't be
snuck up on so easily. It's so weak when you stealth kill a boss. Half
the time, I will let him see me so we can duke it out...unless it's a
stealth mission. Always hide scrolls, messages in places no one would
ever look, I always make sure create a good to perfect atmosphere,
decide if stealth is right for the mission, and make the enemies bunch
up a little, so they can have a friend avenge their deaths.... that
sort of thing. I'm going to create a huge level soon. One with lot's of
objects, over 20 people, and plenty of "Atmosphere". That's just what I
do when creating a mission. The very important thing however, is
deciding how a mission should start out. Sometimes, the begining of a
mission tells what to expect in a mission...
I created another mission also. A level where your ninja is in Jail and
wants to escape and get his/her revenge, but the guards are on alert,
strict, and mean. At the begining of the level, you can see a guard
forcing a woman to collect rice and harrasing her (He stands close
behind and looks around so no one sees him).

Some ideas you might be able to use when making a Mission:
- Try to recreate scenes out of your favourite movies
- Think of ideas that havent been used.. many try to create a stealthy
feel to their missions, others make their levels action packed.. try
to make your mission have stealth parts and other parts action
packed.
Feeling stuck on a level? Well other then following some of the
techniques above, try playing other user made levels and get ideas of
them .... but remember that each level is copyrighted so do not copy
any ideas from them. See how they went around a problem and so on.

---------------------------[11]-[ Tips ]--------------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯
-> Never turn your back on an enemy, as you will find it very hard to
attack or even to block in the position that you are in
-> When swimming, make sure you don't rise to the surface too quickly
as you might jump out of the water into the hands of an enemy
-> Make sure you check your ki meter at regular intervals
-> Never risk your life at something always go out into battle knowing
you are going to win
-> Never kill the innocent
-> Never bring attention to yourself
-> Always keep your weapon sheathed when running as if you don't it
will slow you down and always keep it sheathed when you are hiding
-> If you are spotted try to lose them and score a stealth kill
-> Always search enemies for items
-> Use L1 to look around before entering unknown grounds
-> When you jump from great heights and just before landing press the
roll button as it will make you land nice and softly, if you don't
you will fall hard to the ground and either warn enemies around you
(depending on your difficulty setting) or waste alot of time.
-> Sometimes its quicker to roll rather then walk
-> Make sure you have checked the area out before moving on.
-> Search the whole level for anything you might of missed, such as
items and enemies. (Hint: Look for breakable walls and if the
levels has trees look for hidden entrances or if they are bamboo
see if you can break them to open up an entrance)
-> Practice, Practice, Practice!!
-> Don't let your guard down when fighting enemies as you will be
attacked and this will cause you to be vulnerable to any more
enemy attacks.
-> Make sure you know the area well and do not take risks.
-> Never waste time and always keep one step ahead of the enemy.
-> A true ninja always follow the rules.
[ Boss Tips ]
Well I decided to add a Boss Tips section as well, using these tips
will help you when fighting the many boss's in Tenchu 2. So here we
go...
-> Never let your guard (circle) down when the boss is attacking as
you will then take unnecessary hits
-> When you are not sure if you can beat him/her just by using the
normal 1 on 1 technique then try hiding from the boss and then
attacking his/her back when he isn't suspecting you.
-> If you are low on health hide and regain your health. Never
think you will beat the boss even if you have 20 health left.
-> Do not use all your items on a boss, as you might need them after
the fight.
-> Advance Attacking: Sometimes to defeat an enemy it is good to
just run and attack at him/her and not letting him/her get any
attacks in! But make sure that when he/her does automatically
press circle to block his/her attacks
-> Strafe Attacking: A very good technique to use when fighting
a boss is Strafe Attacking. All this is going to the left or right
side of the boss and attacking or even strafing a full circle
around him/her and attacking his/her back.
-> Dash Attacking: A good move to do when you get angry. Dash
(see controls section) towards the boss and keep attacking then
when he/she attacks, dash back.
-> Roll, Roll, Roll! It's a fast technique but watch out when you get
up as you have about a second of animation where you are vulnerable
to attacks.
-> Never try jumping over a boss or even enemy, as it is very easy for
him/her to attack you while you are in the air and then that's
health wasted.

------------------------[13]-[ Item List ]------------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
These are Items are found in the NTSC version the only difference to
the PAL version is that there are no Shurikens and they are replaced by
knives.
Ninja Rebirth
A ninja rebirth will give you a second chance at life if you are
carrying it when you run out of health. When on land, instead of
dying, you will disappear and then reappear at another location, with
your full normal health. If you previously placed coloured rice, you
will reappear at the nearest coloured rice location. If not, you'll be
back at the starting point. If you are in the water, you will be
revived at the spot where you died.
Grenade
A typical grenade but not as powerful as it seems to be.
Poison Cure
Cures Poison, but beware as it is hard to cure when poisoned or when
being attacked by an enemy.
Blow Gun
A great item, which can shoot enemies that are off in the distance.
Grappling Hook
The aiming crosshair will be dimmed out if the grappling hook won't
catch on the surface you are aiming at.
Poison Rice
These delicious-smelling rice balls will be irresistible to any enemy
character who finds them. Enemy characters will not pick up poison
rice if they are on the alert.
Mines
Place mines in the paths of enemies. Mines cannot be placed in water.
Coloured Rice
Coloured rice will mark your location on the terrain as well as on the
map.
Shurikens
The main weapon for a Ninja. Each shuriken can be thrown a fair
distance and you will know if the shuriken (or knife in PAL version)
will hit the enemy if the aiming crosshair turns a bright red, it will
dim out if it can't reach. Shurikens are pretty weak and usually needs
at least 4 to kill an enemy.
Caltrops
When thrown on the ground can be very dangerous to both enemies and
yourself. They are used to slow down enemies and to take a bit of
health of them
Ninja Health
When used, restores all of your health

disappear in a cloud of swirling leaves, and reappear behind your
enemy.

Ninja Armor
All damage is cut by 50% when wearing this. Good for use on very hard
bosses.
Dragon's Breath

-----------------------[14]-[ Grand Master ]----------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Man people are really obsessed with becoming a Grand Master! Although
following this FAQ/Walkthrough won't make you a grand master having
this section gives you an idea of what to do to become one....
Read on!
-= What is a Grand Master? =-
Well a Grand Master is the highest level Azuma Ninja you could possibly
be.
-= How do I become a Grand Master? =-
You have to have a perfect score. So you can't be spotted at all on
any level and you have to kill every enemy on the level with a stealth
kill and you will have to finish the level with 75% or higher health.
-= Do I need to be a Grand Master to finish the game? =-
Nope! You don't!
-= Then Why does everyone make such a big deal about it? =-
Well becoming a Grand Master on every level of the entire game would
mean you are very very very very good! And many people after beating
the game have tried to do this, but it is very difficult.
-= Are you a Grand Master yet? =-
Well except for the odd one or two missions I haven't become a Grand
Master for every mission.
-= Can you become be Grand Master in every level =-
Yes you can, make sure not to be spotted and remember each level has
different requirements and may allow you to be spotted once or twice
depending on the number of enemies in the level.

----------------------[15]-[ Bugs/Glitches ]----------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
>> During some moves/stealth kills Rikimaru's blade seems to be going
through his own body.
>> Enemies seem to be able to move like a ghost through walls and such
>> Blood has been seen to stay in the air
>> Stealth Kills cut out when you go on and inclined hill or next to a
wall. Also if the enemy is on the hill and you go to do a stealth
kill no stealth kill animation plays but your character just does a
one hit kill by swinging their weapon, pretty boring.
>> I was doing the waterfall level once and the scratch memory for the
graphics ran out (or something similar) because the detail on the
mountain (I was about halfway up) disappeared entirely.
It was extremely surreal, objects were still there -- I could see
trees and bushes floating in space, as well as people walking 30
feet up in the air above my head. I was able to sort of pick my way
based on where people were, and trees, and having already done the
level... but eventually I fell to my doom. That didn't fix the
problem, so eventually I had to reset my PSX.
Anyone else have this happen?
[ Genbu (GameFAQs Msg Board) ]
>> This happens to me quite often. It's really annoying too. I'll be in
the middle of a stealth kill movie thing and it will go right to a
normal kill. It will show so of me slitting their throat and half
way through it and it will show me cutting the guy in the back
normally.
Does this crap happen to you guys? And is it possible to fix it?
[ KoRnKid54 (GameFAQs Msg Board) ]
________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯[ REPLIES TO ABOVE QUESTION ]¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well the reason of this is the stealth kill must of taken place at the
base of a hill and led to the hill or taken place next to a wall.
And since the developers doesn't want enemies falling into the ground
or through a wall they cancel the animation and your enemy just dies
normally. That is why sometimes when you press [] you don't do a
stealth kill.
[ Me (GameFAQs Msg Board) ]
~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~
It will also happen at the edge of pits, water, walls, etc.
The stealth-kill animation isn't like a clip that plays -- the game
actually changes the location of your character based on what you're
doing in the stealth kill, and actually pushes you back a little bit at
the beginning of some of them (which is why if you're on the edge of a
platform or next to a pit you can sometimes die by starting a stealth
kill).
Also, keep in mind that you can still be hurt while doing a stealth
kill, if there's another guard nearby who spots you and comes over to
you while you're still locked in the animation. Pretty stupid to do an
elaborate kill dance when someone's about to stab you, but...oh well.
[ Genbu (GameFAQs Msg Board) ]
~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~
Heh! Heh! That happens a lot in both Tenchu's. A couple of years back,
when I first played through Tenchu 1 and was on the last mission. I
didn't have a guide then and I was playing blind. Using Ayame, I'd been
playing for about 2 hrs. and had got quite deep into the lava caverns.
Feeling quite proud of myself, having topped the 1st boss and stealth
killed a lot of enemy, I went for this guy on a narrow ledge. Having
doing a perfect stealth kill, Ayame started her victory pose and
''victory posed'' herself straight over the canyon edge into the lava
stream. I of course panicked and she burned up. I sat there open
mouthed for what seemed an eternity, then the air turned BLUE!
[ jimbojan (GameFAQs Msg Board) ]
~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~-+=~
There is a narrow bridge on level 3 over a bottomless pit in Tenchu 1.
It's very easy to dance your way into it if you're not careful.

>> I found out that enemies float in the air!
[ SharkBoy (GameFAQs Msg Board) ]
>> Well I was doing a stealth kill and because it went on uneven
ground the stealth kill animation ended but the enemy still got up!
He was still alive after I had slit his throat with Ayame! Don't
worry I killed him after and then sliced him a couple more times to
make sure he was dead! heh
>> There was one time where I was nearly face-to-face with an
enemy and I wasn't spotted, which was weird since he was looking
straight at me.

------------------------[16]-[ Fun Stuff ]------------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This section is for those of you who have passed the game countless
times and are wondering what else there is to do. This section will
list all the fun stuff you can do when you are bored.
- Use the mission editor to make a level like the Matrix elevator
action scene and try to replicate it exactly although this time
with a 'ninja feel' to it.
- Try to see how many enemies you can have chasing you
- Try to get the bowmen to kill all the enemies for you then kill them
when they have done that
- Try to get the bowmen to shoot themselves
- See if you can jump of the top of a tree and land on an enemie
(hehe ok this is pretty easy to do but it's pretty funny)
- Try pushing an enemy into the water and getting them eaten by sharks
- Chop down all the bamboo trees in the levels which contains them
- Swims laps up and down the beach on Rikimaru's The Secret Harbor
without getting attacked by the shark
- Try to wrestle the shark and see who wins
- Pretend that the enemies in the games are people that you hate
in real life and attack them (helps to keep the stress down hehe)
- Try to picture yourself as the main character, it sometimes
pretty cool as this is what it would be like if you where a ninja.
- Try to get Grand Master status on all levels
- Muck around with a game shark using all the cheats.
- Here's one way to gain immunity when fighting Suzaku and have some
FUN!
At both ends of the ship are ropes leading upwards. You can
actually go up on it and Suzaku will not be able to touch you. From
there you can use your calthrops to lay traps all over the ground.
You can't directly hit him but he won't be able to touch you
either, so.... ;)

-= You know you play too much Tenchu 2 when: =-
-----------------------------------------------
When you feel the urge to Stealth Kill the person in front of you in
line at the grocery store because she hasn't turned around in like 3
minutes, and you're sure she's going to turn around any minute now,
and then you'll have to take her out in front of these other guards,
(people), and risk getting a ''GrandMaster'' rating, and then you've
only got this kielbasa, but you suppose it'll do the job if you're
fast enough, and maybe sharpen it a little with this potato peeler, but
then you'd have to run and hide with your back against the frozen
pizza aisle, and that's not doing anybody any good if you get your
ninja gear all cold and wet, then you remember there's a separate
cooler for the liquors, and you suppose you could maybe hide out there
since they don't follow you that far, then after like 2 minutes they'd
all go back to their routes, (shopping), and you could take someone
else out, then...

---------------------[17]-[History of the Ninja]------------------------
¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The history of the Ninja is hard to trace. This is because there were
few, if any records kept of its existance. Most of what is known about
the ninja is taken from stories that have been passed down from
generation to generation.
Nonuse ("the art of stealth") was first introduced to Japan in 522 A.D.
as a religion practiced by priests. These priests were not violent
people, they were "mystics" who gathered and shared information for the
ruling classes. The ninja as we know them were not introduced until
later.
It wasn't until 645 A.D. that the priests perfected their fighting
skills and made use of their knowledge of nonuse. This was because they
found themselves being harassed by the central government and found in
necessary to protect themselves.
In 794-1192 A.D. the new civilization flourished and with it, a new
class of wealthy, privileged families. These families fought with one
another in attempts to make or destroy emperors. The need for spies,
informants and now assassins grew as these families dueled for power.
They were suspicious and jealous of one another and would resort to any
means necessary to eliminate any possible threats. Therefore, the
practitioners of nonuse were in great demand. With this, the ninja was
born.
As the ninja gained popularity, so did the stories of their superhuman
abilities. This reputation was often encouraged by the ninja themselves.
Because they were a relatively weaker people then their counterparts,
the samurai, and were vulnerable to attack by the many warring families
around them, it was to their advantage to have others believe they had
such powers. Powers like having the strength of ten men, ability to
turn into animals, fly and become invisible at will. The ninja movies
also added to the abilities by having the ninja jump over buildings in
a single jump, catch bullets in their teeth and see into the future.
At this point you must understand the samurai to truly understand just
why the ninja were so effective and in such demand. The samurai's life
was to "live by the sword, die by the sword", with no fear of death at
all. His sword was his whole life, his soul. With this he followed the
warriors code of honor, the Bushido. The bushido was to be followed at
all times. If a samurai were to stray from the code he would then
commit seppuku, another term for hara-kiri. This was a ritual suicide
where they would cut their stomach open with their smaller sword.
The ninja followed to such code. Their only code was to do whatever it
takes to get the job done. This gave the ninja a great advantage right
away, add the use of a wide variety of weapons and you have a superior
warrior. Since the samurai could not sneak into an enemy's house,
because it was against their code, they could not carry out such tasks
as assassination and sabotage. This is where the ninja came in. And if
that meant sneaking up behind a samurai warrior and killing him before
he even knew he was in danger, that was very permissible by the ninja.
The bushido would never allow for this. For this reason the samurai
were afraid of the ninja. A fear the ninja had earned.
Many people are wondering who this Jubei character is... well he has
been in many games and movies and is often talked about when the term
Ninja's is brought up. So who is he? What makes him so popular.. well
after doing my research I have gathered up abit of info that you might
be interested in.
His name is Jubei Yagyu and he was a great swordsman who was taught
by another great swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. As you may notice Jubei
has a patch over an eye which happened at a young age by his father.
His father was testing his son, Jubei's skills and threw a dagger at
his head while Jubei was washing and hit Jubei in his eye which
in return made Jubei have an eye patch for the rest of his life.
Jubei Yagyu and Miyamoto Musashi became great swordsman and
according to Luminaire from http://www.gamefaqs.com/, Jubei played an
integral role in the downfall of Amakusa who led a Christian revolt.
|---Extract from: http://astro.temple.edu/~gavinc/ninjutsu.html
|
| Probably the most famous Ninjutsu practitioner of Yagyu Ryu is
| Jubei Yagyu, who is believed to have performed secret missions for
| the Shogun all during his life, acting like a Ronin who had been
| dishonored. Shigekata Togo was a Satsuma warrior who tra ined under
| the monk Zenkitchi-bo in Tenshinsho Jigen Ryu and eventually founded
| his own system simply called Jigen Ryu which became the main system
| of the Satsuma warriors with very effective Nimpo techniques. It is
| interesting to note at this point that Toshitsugu Takamatsu, the man
| who instructed Masaaki Hatsumi who gave Mikkyo based Ninjutsu to the
| world, had stated in an interview before he died that he learned
| Ninjutsu from his uncle Shinryuken Masamitsu Toda, whose family
| descended from the Samurai class in Iga province. This solidly
| establishes the Samurai basis of modern Ninjutsu over the Ninja
| concept.

|---Extract from: http://astro.temple.edu/~gavinc/ninjutsu.html
The above site I took that extract from is a great site which tells
you more about the history of the ninja. You must check it out
sometime as you will get a pretty good idea of Ninjitsu from that
document.
For a pretty cool picture of Jubei (in toy form) check out:
http://store5.yimg.com/I/artoftoy_1634_12255020
Also a great anime to check out which stars both Jubei Yagyu and
Miyamoto Musashi (of course in Anime form) is Ninja Ressurection,
which is split into two videos.
