Basics of Ninja Combat
" I will instruct you
in the basics of
Ninja combat.
Can you keep up?"
Basic Movements
Walking and Running
Use the Left Thumbstick to move: lean it
10
slightly to walk and fully to run.
Jump
Use the A Button to jump.
Melee Weapon Attack
Both the X Button and the Y Button are
used for melee attacks; however, the
Y Button is capable of more intense
attacks. Use the two types of attacks
together to form combination attacks.
Projectile Weapon Attack
Use your Projectile Weapons with the
A Button.
Ninpo
Use Ninpo magic attacks by pressing the
Y and B Buttons simultaneously.
Blocking
Use the Left Trigger to block enemy
attacks.
Interact
Press the X Button when you see the
Interact display on the screen to interact
with objects in the environment. Know
the importance of the X Button!
Wall Running
You can run on walls by jumping
diagonally towards a wall and continuing
to hold down the Left Thumbstick.
By jumping straight at walls, you can run
right up them.
Wall Running Jump
You can also jump in the middle of a wall run.
To reach places that at first glance seem unreachable is one of
the true strengths of a Ninja.
Flying Bird Flip
Jump while running straight up a wall.
Of course you must perfect this technique to open up new paths.
