on controller two. The game will automatically resume to confirm
correct code entry. Have player one walk towards an enemy or innocent.
When close enough, player two should be able to control him/her.
Note: Enabling this code may glitch the game. This code gives
player two complete access to every enemy at once. When the code
is enabled when near an enemy with the "?" on radar
(meaning they do not know you are there), you will be able to
use simple basic controls with controller two, using the D-pad.
Press Left or Right to rotate all enemies on the
map. They rotate similar to a character in a Resident Evil
game. Press R1 to make all enemies duck. Press X
to make them all jump. All enemies can also double jump. Press
Forward to will make all enemies on the level move forward.
They cannot attack if the code is enabled in the "?"
state. Doing the code when an enemy is in the "!" state
will allow player two to access all enemies in attack state. All
enemies on the level will be able to do the same thing as "?"
state enemies, but will be able to attack with Square,
and will be be able to move backwards with the D-pad. Enemies
do not hurt other enemies; only you. You can now also block attacks
with all enemies. Repeat the code to disable its effect. The best
use of this code is for stealth killing everybody, as when the
code is enabled, enemies do not have an active AI and will no
longer react to you on sight, even if you hit them. You can also
force enemies off ledges and cliff sides. You can toggle enemy's attack mode by pressing L3 on controller
two. Note: This will also cause enemies to not attack you if you approach
them.

Hint: Alternate ending sequence:
Get a "Grand Master" rank on all levels with
Rikimaru and defeat Tenrai. You will be treated to a new ending,
and will have to fight Tenrai a third time before he completely
dies.

Hint: Secret attacks:
To perform a secret attack with the various characters,
spin the Left Analog-stick and tap Square. Note:
This may require a few attempts. When using Tesshu, press X + Circle. You will see
red smoke around his arms. When you now punch somebody, they will
catch on fire. This will only work for a short time, but you repeat
it again. Note: This works for only Tesshu, unless you go to the
versus mode and use different people, except for Rikimaru and
Ayame.



Hint: Easy stealth kills:
This trick works better on high roof levels such as
Rikimaru's first mission. If you have trouble anticipating when
to perform a stealth kill, use a Poison Rice. Throw it in front
of the guard and slice him before he eats it. Then, retrieve your
rice and repeat the attack. You must be on a roof or cliff to
do this best. Run or walk up against an enemy's side or back and press Square
(default) to stealth kill him. You can also stealth kill him in
front, but you have to do this very quickly, before he notices
you. Note: All stealth kills must be executed before the enemy
notices you. Also, you can see different animations for each character
depending on which side of the stealth kill is in view. Each character
has a different stealth kill.



Hint: Double stealth kills:
Go to co-op mode, choose your player, and sneak up
on an enemy using stealth. Both of players must be near the enemy
when one of them presses Square to perform a double stealth
kill.



Hint: Easy kills:
Wrath Of Heaven is the best attack in the game, but
it will drop you down to one life point within mere seconds of
its attempt. Pause game play in mid-attack and enable the "Recover
health" code. By doing this, if your opponent swings his
sword at you in mid attack, you will not die. Also, if you do
not have any smoke bombs, just knock an enemy down and immediately
perform Wrath Of Heaven. If timed correctly, it will hit him just
as he stands. Have the blow dart equipped and sneak up near an enemy. Aim the
blow dart at the opponents head and fire. If you hit them in the
head, it will be an instant kill. This is helpful when encountering
the ogre in level 3.



Hint: Invincibility:
Enable the "Unlock all items" and the "Unlimited
item capacity" code. Get between 50 to 100 Chameleon Cloaks
and/or 50 to 100 Invisibility Cloaks. Note: The Invisibility Cloaks
will not let you use any item except for the same item; the Chameleon
Cloaks will.



Hint: Throwing things around a corner:

There are a few items that you can throw around a corner;
Grenades, Poisoned Rice, Smoke Bombs, and Caltrops. Put your back
to the wall using R1, move to the very end of the wall,
and tap Triangle on the item you wish to throw around the
corner. Your character will then take out the item and throw it.
If it is a Smoke Bomb, the character will cough and you can move
in for a stealth kill.



Hint: Suicide attack:
When you unlock Jonin Blue, press X + Square
to pull out two bombs. You can run into an enemy and it will take
all his life away once it explodes. If you try to "Forge Death" near a enemy, you will stealth
kill him and yourself in the process.



Hint: Killing innocents without losing
Kanji:
Play a stage with a beehive. Note: The first stage
has two of them. Lure enemies and innocents near a beehive with
either a poison rice or a magazine (Tesshu). Then, hit the beehive
with either a shuriken or a throwing needle and watch the bees
take care of them. You will not lose any Kanji when the bee's
kill an innocent, nor will you gain any as a stealth kill. This
helps take care of groups of enemies, as the bees attack multiple
targets at once. You can re-hit the hive to have them finish the
job. Note: If you are too close to the hive or are the only one
in the vicinity, the bees will attack you. Take a few low-damage range weapon with you, such as throwing
stars, or pick up bows and arrows from the guards, and bring along
some poison rice. Generally two arrows or stars will be just enough
to bring an innocent person's health down to the point where the
rice can finish the job. However, sometimes these two stars or
arrows will just be enough to kill them; you will have to experiment
with the damage they do at different ranges. However, you have
to throw the rice last, as they only eat a poison rice ball once.




Hint: Fireworks of death:
When playing as Rikimaru or Ayame take the Fireworks
item with you, and if desired, the Chameleon Spell to make this
easier. Place the Fireworks close to your enemy. If he or she
is unaware of your presence, he or she will die instantly. If
you are spotted, you can lay the Fireworks and wait until the
enemy is close enough. This will cause serious damage.



Hint: Wrath Of Heaven technique:
To get the Wrath Of Heaven technique, you must get
ten stealth kills on the last level. This is easier if you enable
the "Unlock all items" code, then use the "Increase
items" code. The items that are best to get are smoke bombs,
the invisibility item, and the item that makes you look like an
enemy.



Hint: Restore heath using ninja rebirth
items:
This trick will only work if you have ninja rebirth
items and the Wrath Of Heaven attack . Use the Wrath Of Heaven.
It does not matter if you hit or miss. When you have one heath
point remaining, kill yourself by using the Forge Death move.
You will return at full heath.



Hint: Falling:
When you are falling long distances, hold R1.
When you land, you will not fall over and have to wait for your
character to get back up. This is useful when you are trying to
jump on an enemy and miss. Use the following trick in order to hide easier or stop a fall
off a roof or ledge. If you are near a ledge, crouch down and
roll backwards. As you roll backwards, press Left Analog-stick
Up. If done correctly, you should grab the ledge instead of
just falling. This is a good way to quickly hide from enemies
on rooftops or adjacent ledges.



Hint: Repel enemies:
When playing as Tessu, you can actually repel enemies
that are chasing you. If an enemy is chasing you, simply move
out of sight and get into stealth mode up against the wall. Use
your barnyard animal call and the enemy will think that you were
just an animal and simply walk away and return to green mode.




Hint: New items:
Get a rank of Grand Master on a level to unlock new
items. The item is different for every level.



Hint: Easier Boss fights:
Before you enter a level, bring about five or six Sticky
Bombs with you. Save them until the Boss fight. Once you fight
him, back up and use the Sticky Bombs. It should only take a few.
This is the easy way to defeat Bosses, as the Sticky Bombs take
off a lot of life and are unblockable. Use a Blow Gun Dart to stun the Boss (or a Smokebomb if you are
out). Then, use a Fire Dart while the Boss is stunned. If you
have enough, the Boss will die before reaching you. This works
well on Tenrai. Note: Save your items for only the fights that
are difficult.



Hint: Defeating Demon Ninjas:
When in a fight with two or more Demon Ninja, be very
careful. If you are busy fighting one, the other can perform a
stealth kill on you. Be sure to watch all Demon Ninja.



Hint: Defeating Kagura:
If you have the Wrath Of Heaven, use it on the big
partner first instead of running around and trying to hit her,
because he will come after you. Dispose of him with the Wrath
Of Heaven and he will fall with one shot. You will then have all
the time to carefully kill Kagura.



Hint: Defeating Tenrai:
Use the following trick to kill Tenrai's second form
in less than fifteen seconds. This requires one Binding spell,
two Fire spells, and the Wrath Of Heaven ability. As soon as you
regain control of Ayame, cast the Binding spell. Stay in the circle,
and wait until Tenrai gets "bound" when he runs up to
the edge. Cast a Fire spell to knock him back. Repeat this step
with the remaining Fire spell. When he returns and gets bound
again, use the Wrath Of Heaven to defeat him. The following is a much easier way to kill Tenrai's second and
third form on the last level. As soon as the intermission sequence
ends and Rikimaru can focus through his right eye, perform Wrath
Of Heaven just before Tenrai runs towards you. Do the same thing
again for the third form. If done correctly, there is no need
to bother with the Bind or Fire spell.



Hint: Guard cats:
Cats are invincible. You cannot even stealth kill them.
Their only purpose is alerting every guard in the area. Stay away
from them if you can.



Hint: Fortress Of Evil B: More items:
Use the following trick to get more items in co-op
mission 6 (Fortress Of Evil B). When you start, have someone kill
Tajima (the man with the gun) first. Do not touch Nasu yet. When
you have killed Tajima, have both you and your partner gang up
on Nasu. Do not slash him. When he starts bowing down and says
"Please don't kill me", he will then say "I'll
give you this" and places an item on the ground, After this,
have yourself or your partner do a double jump directly over him.
He will say "Sucker" and start spinning around. Have
the person who did not jump run up and get the item before he
stops spinning. Keep doing this as many times as desired. Also,
instead of doing a double jump, you or your partner can just throw
a star at him and he will take a few steps back. Then, the person
who did not throw the star can run up and get the item.



Hint: Rescue Counsel Sekiya: Defeating
Boss:
At the end of the level, after you blow up the rock
you have to defeat Kagura. Pay no attention to her and instead
attack the huge wolf. If you ever get seriously injured you can
jump up on the outer wall, since the part you start fighting in
is sunken. Nether of the enemies can hurt you here. You can heal
freely and use items such as shooting the blow gun or throw shuriken.
They cannot block these. Use them to wear the enemies down.



Hint: Rikimaru's Temple level: Defeating
Boss:
When fighting the Boss on the Temple level, do not
attack the big red enemy. Instead, attack the teleporting lady.
You can only get the red enemy down to no less then 100 HP until
he is automatically revived. However, she is weak. Kill her and
the red enemy will be killed anyway and you will fight Tatsumaru
instead.



Hint: Rikimaru: Double K.O.:
Select versus in multi-player mode and have both players
choose Rikimaru. You must have the Wrath Of Heaven skill. Stand
in front of each other and use Wrath Of Heaven simultaneously.




Hint: Tesshu: Avoiding detection:
Once you have his animal mimic, every time someone
discovers a dead body, use the technique. They will think it was
just a animal.



Hint: Praying Ninjas:
While playing as Ayame, perform a stealth kill on an
enemy while he or she is on a slope. After she kills them, they
will seem to be "bowing" down to you.



Hint: Tenrai has two deaths:
In mission 10, Tenrai Fortress-B, when you defeat Tenrai
for the last time a FMV sequence will start. Tenrai will have
two deaths, depending which choice you made in Rikimaru's cemetery
mission and Ayame's Amagai castle mission. Tenrai will be cut
in half and he will disintegrate.



Glitch: Funny death:
As Rikimaru, do a slope stealth kill and make sure
your target lands so that they will bow down to you. Then, go
to back of him and look where the blood is spurting from.



Glitch: Painful death:
As Rikimaru, sneak up on someone and try to stealth
kill them from the front. After the intermission, look where the
blood is spurting out from. Note: It looks better with male enemies.




Glitch: See through walls:
In Echigoya's castle as Rikimaru or Ayame, find the
vertical beam in the middle of the wall just outside of the room
with the tree. Jump directly into the beam to cross through. The
game does not load the wall textures, and you can now see all
the way through, run around, etc. In the level where you go after the merchant, a similar event
will happen if you use the grappling hook at the back door of
the main house, if you are close enough to the door to allow it
to load the next sub-level when you jump up. You then end up falling,
and as long as you do not pull up (drop down instead), the wall/floor/ground
textures will not load. You can go quite a distance into the house
without them loading.
