    How much did you pay for this game?

    
    KAY BEE has it for $49.95.
    If you are in Mass, the Auburn Mall and Greendale Mall stores
    have it. If they do then TOY-R-US probably will have it for
    $5 less as usual.

    .2 has it on the money...$44.95 at Toys R Us...

    Is this the game in the last issue of Nintendo Power?
    
    It looked like a good game but a screen they showed said
    something like "Oh, it's just a girl, never mind".  It
    really turned me off.  Is this the game, and is it really
    that blatant?

    Just bought this one the other day. It's tough.  Timing has to be
    perfect.  I think you will really like it.  I would rate it a 9.5,10.
    It's the best action fight game nintendo has come out with in a
    long time.

    Clarification of display:
    
    Do not be offended by that.  It is part of the story line.  When
    this line is displayed, the Ninja hero has just fought and slashed
    his way through a horde of villians.  He is a little jumpy and when
    he see's that it is a girl, he wants her to leave before more trouble
    begins.  However, she doesn't and goes on to play an important part 
    in the story.
    
    Craig

    For those of you that have this game, can you pass on a way to beat
    the second villian.  The one that swings the the blade. Should I
    be in front or behind him. Any help would be great.
    

    Re: .7
    
    Possible Spoiler...
    
    
    The way to beat this villian is to hit him as fast as you can while
    he is swinging the sword above his head.  Then dash away as the
    arm is extended.  Jump high onto the wall and wait for the villian
    to get underneath you.  Then spring behind him and start the cycle
    over again.  You will probably take two or three hits (possibly
    more) during this 'hit and run' sequence.
    
    Hope this helps...it seems that there are no easy obsticals to overcome
    in this game...
    
    Have made it to 6.5 but still victory eludes me...
    
    Craig

     
    Craig,  thanks for the info, helped a lot. Got past him the first
    try. I'm in the next room with the villian with the two stiletto's.
    He is going to take some thinking to get by. He never stays still
    long enough to attack.  I'm sure there's something I'm missing as
    an attack route. I'll see what happen's in the next few days.
    Thanks again for the help.  Keep me posted as to what level your
    on.  This is the toughest game I have ran into yet.  But I really
    enjoy this one.

    I got into act 6, which I gave a couple of tries before hitting
    the sack. It's fast, furious, and fragile. It gets really difficult
    at the end, it seems. Overall I would give this game a 9. It's really
    well done. If anyone's really stuck, I can give some spoilers.

    I could use a spoiler...
    
    
    
    Have you gotten to Act 6.5?  If so, have you overcome the Big Boss
    for that area?
    
    Craig

    How do you get by the gangster with the two stiletto's.  I can't
    seem to put anything together with him.  Is there a spoiler that
    will help out. Any help will be great.

   
    
    Spoiler follows...
    
    
    
    To get by the boss on this stage, you must first seperate the imposter
    from the real boss.  When you swing and hit the real boss or use
    magic (perferably, the circle of fire), there will be damage listed
    on the power meter across the top of the screen.  Concentrate you
    efforts to hit the real boss.  Stay close to the raised pedistal
    as you enter the room.  With some luck, if you hit the imposter
    serveral times (5 or 6), he will disappear, leaving you to face
    the real boss.
    
    Hope this helps...

    When you face the "Masked Devil" at the end, is there any tricks
    to beating him?  It's impossible to make it all the way there for
    one shot and get wasted...and that is what is happening to me.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ron.

    From all that I've been able to divine, you:
    
    need art of fire with lots of energy points.

    I have finally won.  I almost thought I would never finish this
    game.
    
    The cinema display places this game above most action games. 
    I'd like to see more games use the cinema display technique.
    
    The following should not be read unless you have finished the game
    because it will probably spoil the storyline.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    It's ironic that on the night that I finished this game there
    was a lunar eclipse, which also happened in the game.  What a
    coincidence!

    Can anybody give me a hint on how to kill the boss on 3-?(the one that 
    jumps from side to side). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    
    							Jeff

    I am also stuck in the same spot as 250.17,  how do you get by the
    boss that jumps side to side.  Any help would be great.

	I was stuck here for some time but finally figured out a way
that seems to work.  I've got by him 3 times so far.  Possible spoiler
follows:






















	First, you need lots of power and energy built up before
fighting him.  I have had about 80 units of power each time.  This is
the second number on the bottom line of the display.  It is the one
that decrements each time you use a weapon like the star.  So it is
important to get all the torches (whatever) as you go.   It also seems
to help build up power if you wait for more creatures to appear and
kill them.  Second, you need most of your energy (red squares).  It
would be difficult to kill him with less than half red.  I've usually
had about 3/4 red.

	To kill him, stand in the middle and direct star weapons back
and forth as he jumps.  You will get hit, but should be able to do
him in before getting wiped out.

	Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the help,  got by this pain in the neck the first time.
    Now I'm crossing the railroad tracks.  The birds and green ninjas
    together are tough to get by. Any help or method of attack on these
    buggers would be great .

    A way to get the boss at the end of the third stage, when he is
    jumping back and forth, move to the left of the screen,facing the
    left side.  When he land on the left side give em the sword as much
    as you can.  You need a lot of power to get him, but you can.
    

	I just kept trying until I finally made it.

Possible spoiler:




















	Once I get to the bridge, I try to avoid the
birds and just push on to the end.  You need to have
plenty of life left to do this.

	This is a tough section, but eventually you'll
get through.

    My poor son was going crazy last nite trying to get past level 4.
    There are these two big monsters that keep jumping back and forth,
    my poor little guy could not kill them.He must of spent an hour
    trying to kill them,but no luck.Could someone please help me out,
    what should he do to get past them ! !

    	Just hide behind one of the pillers and wait till one gets close
    enough to get him a couple of times, just play it cool, strike from
    the cover of the pillers. 
    

    I need a spoiler. I got out of the dungeon, up the wooden level, and to
    the end of the ruins level. There I met Malth. Malth is the guy who
    draws lightning out of the sky and throws it unerringly towards you.
    It's heat seeking or something. I've gotten there with full power, but
    he always blows me away. any spoilers would be very very very very very
    extremely greatly apprieciated.

    
    That last request, on 250.24, was not from the rotten-belly, but his
    son, Adam, rotten-belly jr.

    Hi, 
    
    My sons have the solution to 250.24.
    
    To beat Malth, just walk up to him and keep hitting him with your
    sword.  If he hits you with lightning just walk up to him and keep
    hitting him.

    CAN ANYONE TELL HOW TO GET PAST THE SIXTH LEVEL?  I HAVE MADE IT TO 
    LEVEL 6-2  WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY.  IS THERE ANY SPOILERS THAT CAN
    HELP ME TO GET PAST THIS LEVEL AND ON TO THE FINISH OF THE GAME? I
    WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP.

    DESPERATE-TO-FINISH-THIS-GAME

	Could someone who has finished this game give a spoiler on how
	to get past the boss on level 6?  My younger brother has left
	the NES on for 5 days straight and won't let anyone else use
	it until he gets past that guy.  Please save me from resorting
	to the remedy I used years ago (i.e. "Mom!...").

	Thanks!

    re: Hints for boss on level 6
    
       I did get to what I thought was the final level, before I quit
    playing.  But it has been awhile since I have played it.  So could
    you tell me what is the boss for level 6?  Then maybe I can help.
    
       I never bought the game, I borrowed it from a friend.  I did like
    the game, it reminded me a bit of Castlevania (in play and graphics).
    But it seemed to get so impossibly difficult on the last levels.  And
    when I finally made it to the last level and lost, it bounced me back
    2 or 3 levels.  And that was the last I played it.

	Re: So could you tell me what is the boss for level 6?

	Possible Spoiler:

	My brother said that in level 6 there are two bosses.  The
	first you face is your father.  He has gotten by that by
	destroying the glowing jewel.  He's having a problem with
	the next boss who's name is something like Jaqaio.  I think
	if he makes it by this guy that he will be done with the
	game.  Any clues?  thanks.

    re: -1
    
    I'm sorry but what I thought was the last level, must not have been so. 
    I think your brother just past the furthest point that I reached.
    I guess I can't help you.
    

    
     .30/.31 -- It's been along time since I played, but thats not the end
                either.
      < spoiler follows>
    
    
        If I remember right; You must defeat your father without killing
      him. That's the jewel.
        Then it's Jacqaio that must be beaten. After that the statues come
      together and alive for the final battle. If at any time you need to 
      continue from any of the above described battles it's back to 6-2 or 
      6-3, I don't remember exactly which. 
         Extremely difficult, at least for me,was to get thru 6-3/6-4. The
      ending though was worth it. The only ending I've personaly enjoyed
      better was with RYGAR.
