According to legend, this enormous skull belonged to a giant who walked the earth long ago. In these ancient times, the world knew no peace, and tribes fought each other to near extinction. None could see an end to this chain of suffering, until the giant appeared. He vowed to bear the sins of mankind upon his own soul, and offered himself as a sacrifice to the gods. His skull was then locked away in a room overflowing with human suffering." The legend ends with the warning, "He who possesses this skull must accept the date of the giant as his own."

Recommended Dragon Sword upgrade Unless you want to waste 30,000 Karma points, it is recommended that you do not upgrade the Dragon Sword. Use one of the other weapons available, such as the Falcon's Talons, the Dragon's Claw and Tiger's Fang, Vigoorian Flail, Tonfa, Elipse Scythe, Kusari-gama, or the Lunar Staff. The Falcon's Talons are recommended. By level 3 or 4 you should be able to max upgrade the weapon of your choice, then use it throughout the game. In the beginning of Chapter 11, there will be an intermission sequence in which you get the Dragon's Eye, which will max the Dragon Sword's level automatically.

Managing health You can only hold a limited amount of health restoratives, which are the Herb Of Spiritual Life and the Grains Of Spiritual Life. However, whenever you use a Lives Of The Thousand Gods, after the health meter increases, it will also restore your health. Hold on to the Lives Of The Thousand Gods as long as you can because it will restore all of your health as well as increasing it.

Bypassing enemies Trigger an enemy, retreat to a save spot, save your game, and reload. When you return to the location where you triggered the enemies, they should no longer be there. Note: This does not work in some locations due to save spots being blocked off.

Easy Essence in Chapter 1 After the second Crystal Skull (where there are two flame archers), continue down the path, and kill the ninjas. Jump past the first pipe. There are two pipes leading towards a safe point. Save your game, then go back. Jump past the first two pipes, and walk towards the single one. Turn 180 degrees, and jump onto the first of the two pipes (towards the save point). Hang there, and release. Turn the camera to see four or five respawning ninjas coming at you. Load up your ultimate technique, and kill the ninjas. If done correctly, you will get 2,000 Essence per attempt. This works with a Dragon Sword, but the best weapon is the Lunar Staff. You can get that weapon further in the chapter then backtrack to this location. After you have done this, walk up the ladder, go to the same pipe, and let go again. The ninjas will attack again. You will have more than enough time to load up your ultimate technique. Sometimes they do not all come at once. If this happens, you will have to fight one or two ninjas at the ladder. You can use the Essence collected to upgrade your weapons in the first chapter (Dragon Sword and Lunar Staff). Just go to Muramasa, then return to the farming location. Upgrade your Lunar Staff first because it works well during Essence farming. You can then buy a Talisman Of Rebirth and save the rest of your Essence.

Easy Yellow Orbs in Chapter 2 When you run up the planks of wood to get onto the roof, you will fight three enemies. Defeat the enemies, but do not fall down to the room below. Simply kill the enemies, jump back to the planks, then jump back to the roof. As you land, immediately double charge your weapon of choice, and kill the enemies again. They will continue to respawn as long as you do not jump down into the room below. It is possible to get 120,000 Yellow Orbs in about two hours.

Rod Of Trial in Chapter 2 The Rod Of Trial is an item that grants access to the Test Of Valor, which is a series of challenges found in several chapters that, upon completion of a test, will reward the victor with rare and useful items. In order to get the Rod Of Trial, defeat all the enemies running down from the stairs and into the yard. When you have killed all the ninjas, the candles behind the fence will light up, and the Rod Of Trial will appear. If you hare having difficulty defeating the enemies in the yard, target the archers around the perimeter before killing the ninjas rushing towards you. The arrows from the archers are difficult to spot, especially if you are surrounded by a group of ninjas. The in-game description of the Rod Of Trial is "A rod symbolizing the fighting spirit, cast from the purest of gold. Those upon whom it is bestowed face an endless path of battle, as though they walked through the underworld itself. It is said that those who carry it must face hordes of opponents in fights to the death known as Tests of Valor. According to legend, this treasure was one possessed by the god of war himself."

Easy "Feat Of A Hundred Slashes" achievement in Chapter 3 Move next to the save point near the first Test Of Valor warp point. From there you can drop down to the subway. It is here that you can get the 100-hit combo with almost no effort. Once you have dropped down, run toward the subway cars. Try to get into the little hole under the cars, and kill almost all enemies. Eventually you will see two enemies appear near the opening from where you came from. If everyone is dead, one will rush up and the other will try to hit you with arrows. Wait until the enemy running toward you is almost in the pit. Once he is that close, jump up in the air and hit him with shurikens. You should get about four hits each time. The ninja will just stand there and not attempt to block. Do this as rapidly as possible. As you hit the ninja he will stumble back. Eventually you will need to close the distance. Once this has occurred, you must start jumping back and forth to avoid the ninja shooting the arrows, and continue your shuriken attack on the first ninja. He will die once you have hit him about 70 times. Once he dies, you will hear him grunt. You will then have to close the distance with the other ninja. He will also run toward you to close the gap as well. Repeat the same trick as above (jump and throw). You will get the achievement easily.

Hidden Xbox in Chapter 4 Enter the Statue Of Liberty museum across from the Test Of Valor. There is a breakable wall that looks like it is made of straw. Slice it open to find a silver Xbox that will fully restore your health an unlimited number of times.

Easy Yellow Essence in Chapter 6 Just after the Giant Skeleton mini-Boss, you will encounter more Scorpion Skeletons. Fight and Wall Run your way through until you get up a floor. Then, drop down, and make your way back up to get more Yellow Essence. Repeat this as many time as desired. -From: Mark Winzenread

Easy "Feat Of A Hundred Slashes" achievement in Chapter 6 Before the Giant Skeleton mini-Boss, a large number of Scorpion Skeletons will attack. Jump around them, and throw shurikens until you reach a 100-hit combo.

Vigoorian Flail in Chapter 9 Immediately after you defeat the tunneling worm mini-Boss and follow the path it makes out, there will be a small fork in it. If you take the fork to the right, you should find yourself climbing a small hill. Atop the hill is a corpse. Examine it to find the Vigoorian Flail.

Easy Yellow Essence in Chapter 14 When you get to the save point and go to the room where the Blood Eels appear, go back to land, and take out the Eclipse Scythe. This strategy works much better than using the Harpoon Gun because the eels cannot damage you while you are on land. Keep attacking the Blood Eels until they are all dead. Once the eels are dead, go back to the save point. Save the game, and the eels will automatically respawn each time you go back into the room. This makes collecting Yellow Essence easy as long as you stay on land to kill them.

Boss obliterations Several Bosses in the game actually have an obliteration you can perform on them. For example, towards the end of Silver Worm and Fire Armadillo's lives they will be stunned. When you can walk up, press Y to finish them off. Note: The greater fiends and Geshin do not have one.

Crystal Skull locations The Crystal Skulls are found at the following locations:
Chapter 1

1. After getting the Fire Ninpo, you will come outside to a ledge where you are supposed to jump off and land below to fight more enemies.

8. Near the middle of the level when jumping from the broken overpass to a ladder, you should see a ledge with a Skull on it in front of you. Either use a correctly timed jump to reach it, or wait until after you get above that area and climb back down a ladder to collect it.

Chapter 6

13. At the very start of the level, immediately turn around and jump on the section of roof behind you that slopes down into the water. Cross over to the other side of the roof. Walk down a few step to find the Skull tucked away very close to where you were originally standing when the level began.
14. When you reach the guillotine, cut the rope for the Skull.

23. After using the Jade Mask and entering a new area, you will eventually reach a rope you must use to climb across to reach the other side. About midway through this climb (just past the giant tree), is a branch you can turn and swing towards on your right. Swing to this and then to one more branch for the Skull.
24. After defeating the worm Boss, immediately after the game save is another area with smaller worm enemies. The Skull is on the far right-hand side of this room on the ground.
25. After watching the short intermission sequence with the dead ninjas floating down the river, jump into the water. The Skull is in a small alcove on the left near the bottom, midway to the other shore.

Chapter 10

26. After the fight with the worm enemies in the acid pit, use a Flying Bird Flip to reach the area above you. Wall Run on the wall to your immediate left, then jump to the one on the right. Once back on solid ground, turn around and Wall Run one more time from the wall on the left, and jump to the ledge in front of you to reach the Skull.
27. Once you enter the area with many flying dragon enemies, you will quickly reach a path descending to the area below. Once it levels out, follow it around to the left instead of where you normally go. The Skull is on the ground in a small open area.
