Ninja Gaiden 3 Guide
. Table of Contents. Walkthrough. Walkthrough Xbox 360 Controls A: Jump B: Shuriken X: Fast Attack Y: Strong Attack LB: Aim Bow RB: Center Camera LT: Block/Slide RT: Shoot Bow START: Pause BACK: Combo List D-PAD: Weapon Select Left Stick: Move Right Stick: Camera (click to Sense Proper Path) Before you begin, a sceen will ask you to choose between two 'play styles:' Hero and Ninja. Effectively, Hero Mode is an 'Easy' difficulty where your character automatically blocks and dodges most attacks, whereas Ninja Mode is on par with the hardcore level of difficulty seen in previous Ninja Gaiden games. Selecting 'Hard' difficulty in Ninja Mode is even more grueling than 'Normal,' and it is not recommended for players that are new to the series. Follow the onscreen button commands during the interactive cutscene that marks the beginning of the game.
Follow the next onscreen command when you gain control, and you will unavoidably get the 'Falcon Dive' Achievement. Follow the path ahead, indicated by clicking the right stick, to a camp of enemies. Dodge or block their fire with the left trigger or shoulder button (depending on your console) and approach to finish them with melee attacks.
The next group of soldiers includes enemies with rocket launchers. These enemies are the most dangerous, so approach them first while dodging their rockets and kill them. Note that by holding the strong attack button after a series of kills, you can charge up an ultimate attack to kill many enemies in succession, which also grants you the Achievement, 'Ultimate Technique.'
Kill two more rocket launcher enemies to complete the wave. Approach the man in the scene and press the attack button to kill him.
Slide under the truck by following the onscreen instructions, and you'll get an Achievement called 'Sliding' just for sliding. Up ahead, an enemy will spring out of the ground. Dodge the car by following the on-screen instructions, then run into the alley on your right. When the arch ahead is destroyed, take the alley on your left and slide to get to safety.
Jump across the gap, then climb up the wall on your right by jumping onto it, then alternating triggers/shoulder buttons to perform a kunai climb. When an enemy attacks from above, press B or O to throw a shuriken and take him down, then continue your climb. And yes, at the top of your climb, you get the Achievement, 'Kunai Climb.'

Walk around the balcony, then sneak up on the enemy ahead and press the strong attack button to assassinate him. Enemies will begin shooting at you now, so glide down, dodge the projectile, and perform a Falcon Dive kill all by simply following the on-screen instructions. At the bottom, fight off the soldiers; again, I recommend killing the rocket users first.
When you ki bar is filled, follow the given command to use your ninpo art: Inferno. This will also get you an Achievement, 'Inferno.' This will leave all the enemies running scared, and you can safely advance. A truck will attempt to ram you, so dodge under it and engage the unloading forces. Definitely kill the man with the missile launcher, as he will fire whole volleys of missiles where the rocket launcher only fires one rocket. After he's dead, prioritize rocket launcher men next, and then worry about the common soldiers.
Make sure to dodge and block to avoid taking damage whenever possible, and use your ninpo when it becomes available. Eventually, enemies with shields will join the fray. Dodge behind them and attack them from the rear to hurt them and knock away their shields. These enemies have glowing orange blades and can hold their own against you in combat, introducing the need to block melee attacks and then counterattack to defeat stronger enemies. Alternatively, you can easily finish them with ninpo or your ultimate technique.
After the fight, an eagle will appear to you; follow the command prompt to heal yourself and save your progress. A group of enemies on the opposite side of the street will start a barrage of rocket fire, blowing up the truck blocking your path. With careful dodging, it's possible to advance through the incoming rockets, but a friendly helicopter will fly through and take out the rocketeers shortly. A few shield soldiers will engage you.
You can kill them, or you can simply jump over the barricade behind them to proceed. In the smoke, an enemy soldier will ambush you. Tap the light attack button while moving the left stick, as shown on the screen, to counter his attack. Afterward, a group of enemies with rockets will start targeting you from within the smoke. Quickly locate them using their own laser sights and take them out before they can deal too much damage to you. When the smoke clears, the Steel Spider robot from earlier will attack.
Don't try to attack it from the front; its flamethrowers will make short work of any such attempt. Instead, circle around and target the glowing legs and damage them until you succeed in severing them. Avoid the rockets and bullets from the mounted guns on top of the Steel Spider. As it weakens, it will start firing electric pulses into the ground to hit the area around itself. Avoid this by putting distance between the boss and yourself when it begins this animation. When all four rear legs are severed, the generator will become exposed.
Jump up on the hatch and attack the generator to finish the Steel Spider, getting you the Achievement, 'Steel on Steel.' Proceed through the newly opened hole in the fence. As you pass the destroyed generator, watch out for flaming soldiers trying to grab you on the left. Ahead, a group of soldiers will attack, including shield wielders.
Get behind the shield wielders, or use ninpo or ultimate techniques to deal with them. After the fight, look on your right (or click the right stick) to see a wall you can climb. Throw a dagger at the rocketeer on the roof as you ascend. At the top, open the door and head inside. Proceed down the stairs, and Ryu will stop to contact his people. Walk down the hall, then repel another sneak attack. After another conversation, continue down the stairs, then through the rooms.
As you exit the building, you'll be subjected to another sneak attack and a fight with several soldiers. Head into the building with the white door from here. Inside, you'll face a colorful masked figure. Follow the prompts on the screen when they appear in order to defend against his attacks.
Block his attacks and press the attack button at the moment he hits to counter his attack, making him vulnerable to further attacks. Eventually, he will be thrown out the window. At this point, he will start using an unblockable grab attack that impales you for huge damage, so don't try to counter this. Instead, dodge it and follow up while he's vulnerable. Eventually, after a prompt to tap the attack button you will finish him. Surprisingly, things do not quite go as expected, and the demon blade evaporates, leaving a red mark on Ryu's arm. Press the attack button to grab the enemy's weapon and counterattack.
After the fight, walk toward the gate ahead. Walk to the end of the street as the missile approaches.
Following the scene at the end of the mission, you will complete Day 1 and get the Achievement, 'The Grip of Murder.' As you approach the two crumbling towers ahead, use your bow to automatically target and shoot down the sentries. When enemies on motorcycles ride out, use your bow to shoot them down. Afterward, you'll see a cutscene and receive a new sword. Proceed through the hole in the wall and approach the open area ahead, where a mercenary will sneak attack you. These new mercenary enemies are as quick as ninja and have lethal finishing moves just like you.
Avoid their unblockable attacks, then counterattack. When you see common soldiers attack you from afar, you can now use the same controls from the beginning of this level to shoot them from afar.
After the first wave, shoot the rocketeers with your bow to end the fight. Head to the back right corner of the area to find a place to wall jump. Simply press the jump button to bounce between the walls and land at the top, earning you the Achievement 'Flying Bird Flip.'
Approach the eagle and save your game. If Ninja Cinema is on, you can also save a record of your gameplay to view in Ninja Cinema mode. Proceed down the steps, and a mercenary group will attack. Shoot the rocketeer on the upper level with your bow, and the fight on the ground will become much easier. Eliminate the enemies, then head up the ramp to where a soldier with a missile launcher awaits. Kill the soldier and ascend.
To cross the gap at the top, jump toward the wall to perform a wall run, earning you the 'Wall Run' Achievement. Jump across the next gap and sneak up on the soldiers ahead, then use the strong attack button for a sneak attack kill. Shoot the rocketeer on the opposite side, then wall run to reach his location. On the next platform, you will fall and face a wave of mercenaries. After the fight, head to the wall jump point and use it to get back up to where you were before. This time, wall run across the place where you fell and proceed up to a wall where you can climb up. At the top, press the strong attack button to jump up and throw the enemy down.
Up ahead, sneak up on and kill the soldier ahead. Another soldier with a missile launcher will fire at you. Press the jump button to leap down and dodge the missiles, then press the strong attack button to perform a Falcon Dive kill. Use the bow to kill the missile unit, then focus on the ground troops. The second wave will consist of motorcycle riders; you can use either your sword or the bow to kill them. Finally, two more missile users will appear above, so shoot them down with your bow. Head to the wall jump point created by the falling soldier and ascend.
Swing across two poles, and when you land the second time, hold both triggers down to catch yourself and perform a kunai climb to reach the top. Ahead, save at the eagle, then perform a wall jump against the wall directly ahead. Swing across a few more poles, and you will fall into a location with numerous soldiers and mercenaries.
Kill them as you proceed down the hall, then open the door at the end. Shoot the enemy charging above, then dodge to the side, and the fight will begin. Only strong attacks will break through these enemies' shields and render them vulnerable.
Avoid their long range magic attacks and hit them while they charge up to make them vulnerable. When all three are defeated, you can proceed by climning the wooden wall ahead. Climb the next wall, and a helicopter will attack you. Jump from the falling rock to the wall across from it, and hold the triggers to grab the wall. When you get knocked down, hold the triggers against to catch yourself.
Perform a kunai climb while being pelted with missiles, and you'll slide down into the building. Walk forward and approach the jukebox. A group of mercenaries will attack you while rocketeers pelt you with explosives from above. Shoot the rocketeers with your bow so you can focus on the ground enemies. After the first wave, a garage door will open and unleash mercenaries and shield troops. After the fight, enter the gate that opened during the fight and proceed up the stairs.
Wall run across and kill the soldier with the rocket launcher. Continue on until the helicopter returns. Dodge and jump over the helicopter's missile volleys while you pelt it with arrows from your bow. Note that you can simply pull the right trigger to fire without reloading. After a brief fight, it will fly away.
Turn around and head through the hall, sliding under a fallen pillar, to fight the helicopter on the opposite side. Continue avoiding the missiles, and try to shoot the helicopter in midair to avoid exposing yourself to fire while shooting. Whenever the helicopter is reloading its missiles, stop and shoot it until it starts firing again. After hitting the helicopter a sufficient number of times, it will crash. Slide under the bars to your right to proceed.
Follow the path and slide under the crashed helicopter. As you do so, the flaming pilot will ambush you, so tap the attack button to repel him. Head to the end and save with the eagle. Enter the monorail on your left for transport to the station.
After the trip begins, helicopters will shoot out the roof of the monorail and drop air troops in. Shoot the air troopers out of the sky with your bow. After dispatching all air troopers, focus on the helicopter.
Dodge its missile volleys, then counterattack while it is idle. It should prove easier to bring down than the previous helicopter. Do the same for the second copter, and a third helicopter with shoot out the rail ahead.
Jump as you slide down to perform a Falcon Dive off the falling monorail for the Achievement, 'Mind the Gap.' Walk forward and jump down to approach the elevator. An enemy wave with mercenaries will move in, while rocketeers attack from above. As usual, shoot down the rocketeers, then fight the ground forces. After a few waves, Ryu's demon arm will start acting up.
Cut down the enemies before you and enter the elevator. When the elevator is attacked, hold the triggers and tap the shuriken button to pull the door open. Save by the eagle on your left, then wall run across the gap.
Shoot down the air troops, then wall run across two more gaps to reach a location where you can wall jump to get up. Try to climb the wall on your left, and a helicopter will just knock you down. Dodge missiles and shoot the helicopter as usual, then when it goes down, climb the wall again. At the top, you will view a scene.
Afterward, dodge under the bomber as it flies over you. You can't damage this helicopter by shooting the cockpit. Instead, dodge its missiles and then fire at the glowing points on the missile launchers, indicating that they are vulnerable. Whenever the bomber, flies over, dodge and then turn around to shoot at its launchers, all of which will be temporarily vulnerable. After severely damaging one of the launchers, the copter will sink and fire a volley of missiles. Jump off the building to evade the missiles, then Falcon Dive at the cockpit and tap the strong attack button to tear through the protective plating. Avoid the shots from the turret on the wing, then when it stops firing, attack it to destroy it.
Leap from the wing and Falcon Dive back to the roof. The helicopter will now fly over and drop bombs. Avoid the glowing spots on the ground to avoid having a bomb drop on you.
Repeat the process of destroying another missile launcher, then jump off the building again, dodge a missile volley, and hit the cockpit again. Now you must fight the opposite turret. Dodge its shots and attack when it stops, only for the helicopter to dip. Latch onto the wing with the triggers, then dodge left and right to avoid the turret's fire. Ignore the air troopers and dodge the turret again, then attack it once more to destroy it.
Shoot the air troopers, then focus on the helicopter again. Destroy a third missile launcher and jump to the helicopter again. Strike the cockpit directly, then hang on to the wing with your kunai. When the wing falls off, jump down from it to escape. After another mission conclusion scene, you will earn the Achievement, 'Bumpy Ride.' You will also unlock Ninja Trials in the online mode, Shadows of the World. Falcon Dive from the helicopter.
On the way down, dodge a missile, then perform a strong attack and tap the button to destroy the missile turret. Enemies will surround you, so quickly run to the nearby missile turret and disable it to stop it from firing volleys.
You can then engage the normal soldiers around you, finishing them with ninpo and/or the ultimate technique. If you didn't complete destroy the turret, you can do so after the fight, as it's of no threat while disabled. Head through the opening in the trees behind the turret. Along the path, you'll encounter giant insects.
Kill them and approach the nest ahead, then shoot it down with your bow. Climb the wall, then knock down the enemy above as you approach the top. Follow the path to the right, and you'll be attacked by armored dogs just outside the building ahead. Kick the door open to send the enemy behind it flying, then enter the combat arena ahead. Take out the turret at the top of the stairs, then the soldiers below.
After the fight, head up the stairs behind the turret, where more ninja mercenaries and a rocketeer are waiting. Shoot the rocketeer and kill the mercs, then save and heal at the eagle.
Bust through the gate ahead and head down the stairs, then counter a soldier's ambush. By the radio, jump down onto the truck and grab onto the back of the vehicle with your kunai. After a scene, the truck will arrive at its destination. Falcon Dive and hit an enemy on the ground. Shoot the rocketeers on the containers above you, then fight several waves of mercenaries and dogs until they pull out. An enemy airstrike will commence, so run toward the screen and jump over two logs to get out of the way. Continue to run away, then slide under one log and jump over the next.
Run to the right and jump off the cliff, taking out a helicopter with a strong attack on your way down. You'll now have to fight three helicopters by evading their missiles and shooting them with your bow. The third helicopter will crash and reveal the path onward, earning you the Achievement, 'Beyond the Flames.'
Climb up the wall directly ahead to enter a cave. Inside, fight off an invading force of air troopers, then wall run off the lower wall to reach the climbable wall, then kunai climb the rest of the way. Save at the eagle on your right, then proceed through the path ahead. Kill or run past the insects to reach a point ahead where you fall through the floor, killing any bugs around you. Follow the trail of glowing bugs to their nest at the end of the path. Shoot the nest down and kill the insects, then ascend with a wall jump.
Blaze another trail through the darkness, following the approaching insects to their nest and destroying it. Slide under the rock ahead, and follow another trail of glowing insects back to their nest. After destroying the nest, climb up the wall behind it and knock the guard at the top down. Dodge the rockets ahead and run along the wall to reach the soldiers firing them. Kill them, then wall run again to reach some shield wielders and soldiers, with a rocketeer up ahead.
At the end, hold the triggers to cross the rope and alternate in the same manner as when kunai climbing to cross. This will get you the Achievement, 'Rope Crossing.' Head up the stairs and kill the soldiers blocking your path, then cross another rope.
At the end, a helicopter will attack you. Climb to the end and jump to the platform, then shoot the helicopter down while dodging its rockets. Wall jump up to the next level, then engage a group of soldiers and shield wielders. After multiple waves, you can progress by climbing the wall at the end of the path, to the left. At the top, Falcon Dive into the control tower, killing one enemy, then finish the other. When the tower is beset by missiles, jump down for another Falcon Dive, killing an enemy below. Shoot the rocketeers surrounding you and kill the remaining soldiers on the ground, remembering to use your ultimate technique and ninpo when available.
After the fight, an eagle will fly down, granting you a chance to save and heal. Approach the main building door and hold both triggers, then tap the button shown to open it. Inside, you will face more alchemists like those in the previous level. Use heavy attacks to break through their shields and kill them. Shoot the missile launcher enemy on the stairs, then head up to his location and a ghost will ambush you using a stealth cloak. Deflect his attack, and you will have to fight a group of ghost soldiers. Some will attack you directly while others turn invisible and throw grenades to impair you.
However, when visible, the bow's aiming mode will reveal them while invisible and automatically lock on to them, allowing you to knock them out of their cloaks. After the fight, head up the stairs again and head through the door at the top, following the path until you reach a hall of cases with dogs in them.
Several of these dogs are real, and one will ambush you from the left as you pass. After this, all of the real armored dogs will burst through the glass and attack. As you pass the dinosaur exhibit, two ghosts will ambush you.
A much larger group will attack when you reach the bulkhead door at the end of the hall. Kill all of them, and the door will open. Inside, you'll have to fight a mechanically augmented tyrannosaurus rex. This enemy deals heavy damage with every attack, but is fortunately rather slow. Evade the rex's charge, and it will collapse on the ground, rendering its head vulnerable. The rest of the time, the rex will attempt to bite you, step on you, or whip you with its tail, depending on where you are. If it bites you, it will chew you up and spit you out, dealing massive damage.
If it steps on you, you can resist by tapping the strong attack button, but you'll have to tap quickly to repel the attack. The best manner of consistently damaging the dinosaur is getting your distance to make the dinosaur charge, then dodging the charge and causing it to fall. Attack its head until a scene occurs and you end up running from the dinosaur in a hallway. As you enter the labs, you'll have to jump over a couple piles of dinosaur bones, then duck under a missile. After the dinosaur grabs the missile in its mouth, shoot it to blow it up in the T. Proceed in the next room, then immediately dodge to the left. Jump on the dinosaur's head and mash the strong attack button, and you'll face the beast in another open room.
Repeat the strategy of luring it into a charging attack and then hitting its head while it's down. After it takes enough damage, mash the power attack button to kill the dinosaur. After a scene, you'll get the Achievement, 'Antediluvian Slumber.'

Afterward, you'll see a cutscene and receive a new sword. Proceed through the hole in the wall and approach the open area ahead, where a mercenary will sneak attack you. These new mercenary enemies are as quick as ninja and have lethal finishing moves just like you.
Avoid their unblockable attacks, then counterattack. When you see common soldiers attack you from afar, you can now use the same controls from the beginning of this level to shoot them from afar. After the first wave, shoot the rocketeers with your bow to end the fight. Head to the back right corner of the area to find a place to wall jump.

Swing across two poles, and when you land the second time, hold both triggers down to catch yourself and perform a kunai climb to reach the top. Ahead, save at the eagle, then perform a wall jump against the wall directly ahead. Swing across a few more poles, and you will fall into a location with numerous soldiers and mercenaries.
Kill them as you proceed down the hall, then open the door at the end. Shoot the enemy charging above, then dodge to the side, and the fight will begin.
Only strong attacks will break through these enemies' shields and render them vulnerable. Avoid their long range magic attacks and hit them while they charge up to make them vulnerable. When all three are defeated, you can proceed by climning the wooden wall ahead. Climb the next wall, and a helicopter will attack you. Jump from the falling rock to the wall across from it, and hold the triggers to grab the wall.
When you get knocked down, hold the triggers against to catch yourself. Perform a kunai climb while being pelted with missiles, and you'll slide down into the building. Walk forward and approach the jukebox. A group of mercenaries will attack you while rocketeers pelt you with explosives from above. Shoot the rocketeers with your bow so you can focus on the ground enemies. After the first wave, a garage door will open and unleash mercenaries and shield troops.
After the fight, enter the gate that opened during the fight and proceed up the stairs. Wall run across and kill the soldier with the rocket launcher. Continue on until the helicopter returns. Dodge and jump over the helicopter's missile volleys while you pelt it with arrows from your bow. Note that you can simply pull the right trigger to fire without reloading.

Ninja Gaiden 3 Wiki
It should prove easier to bring down than the previous helicopter. Do the same for the second copter, and a third helicopter with shoot out the rail ahead. Jump as you slide down to perform a Falcon Dive off the falling monorail for the Achievement, 'Mind the Gap.' Walk forward and jump down to approach the elevator. An enemy wave with mercenaries will move in, while rocketeers attack from above.
As usual, shoot down the rocketeers, then fight the ground forces. After a few waves, Ryu's demon arm will start acting up. Cut down the enemies before you and enter the elevator. When the elevator is attacked, hold the triggers and tap the shuriken button to pull the door open. Save by the eagle on your left, then wall run across the gap. Shoot down the air troops, then wall run across two more gaps to reach a location where you can wall jump to get up. Try to climb the wall on your left, and a helicopter will just knock you down.
Dodge missiles and shoot the helicopter as usual, then when it goes down, climb the wall again. At the top, you will view a scene. Afterward, dodge under the bomber as it flies over you. You can't damage this helicopter by shooting the cockpit.
Instead, dodge its missiles and then fire at the glowing points on the missile launchers, indicating that they are vulnerable. Whenever the bomber, flies over, dodge and then turn around to shoot at its launchers, all of which will be temporarily vulnerable. After severely damaging one of the launchers, the copter will sink and fire a volley of missiles. Jump off the building to evade the missiles, then Falcon Dive at the cockpit and tap the strong attack button to tear through the protective plating. Avoid the shots from the turret on the wing, then when it stops firing, attack it to destroy it.
Leap from the wing and Falcon Dive back to the roof. The helicopter will now fly over and drop bombs. Avoid the glowing spots on the ground to avoid having a bomb drop on you.
Repeat the process of destroying another missile launcher, then jump off the building again, dodge a missile volley, and hit the cockpit again. Now you must fight the opposite turret. Dodge its shots and attack when it stops, only for the helicopter to dip. Latch onto the wing with the triggers, then dodge left and right to avoid the turret's fire. Ignore the air troopers and dodge the turret again, then attack it once more to destroy it. Shoot the air troopers, then focus on the helicopter again.
Destroy a third missile launcher and jump to the helicopter again. Strike the cockpit directly, then hang on to the wing with your kunai.
When the wing falls off, jump down from it to escape. After another mission conclusion scene, you will earn the Achievement, 'Bumpy Ride.' You will also unlock Ninja Trials in the online mode, Shadows of the World. Falcon Dive from the helicopter. On the way down, dodge a missile, then perform a strong attack and tap the button to destroy the missile turret.
Enemies will surround you, so quickly run to the nearby missile turret and disable it to stop it from firing volleys. You can then engage the normal soldiers around you, finishing them with ninpo and/or the ultimate technique. If you didn't complete destroy the turret, you can do so after the fight, as it's of no threat while disabled. Head through the opening in the trees behind the turret. Along the path, you'll encounter giant insects. Kill them and approach the nest ahead, then shoot it down with your bow.
Climb the wall, then knock down the enemy above as you approach the top. Follow the path to the right, and you'll be attacked by armored dogs just outside the building ahead. Kick the door open to send the enemy behind it flying, then enter the combat arena ahead. Take out the turret at the top of the stairs, then the soldiers below.
After the fight, head up the stairs behind the turret, where more ninja mercenaries and a rocketeer are waiting. Shoot the rocketeer and kill the mercs, then save and heal at the eagle. Bust through the gate ahead and head down the stairs, then counter a soldier's ambush. By the radio, jump down onto the truck and grab onto the back of the vehicle with your kunai. After a scene, the truck will arrive at its destination. Falcon Dive and hit an enemy on the ground. Shoot the rocketeers on the containers above you, then fight several waves of mercenaries and dogs until they pull out.
An enemy airstrike will commence, so run toward the screen and jump over two logs to get out of the way. Continue to run away, then slide under one log and jump over the next. Run to the right and jump off the cliff, taking out a helicopter with a strong attack on your way down. You'll now have to fight three helicopters by evading their missiles and shooting them with your bow. The third helicopter will crash and reveal the path onward, earning you the Achievement, 'Beyond the Flames.' Climb up the wall directly ahead to enter a cave.
Inside, fight off an invading force of air troopers, then wall run off the lower wall to reach the climbable wall, then kunai climb the rest of the way. Save at the eagle on your right, then proceed through the path ahead. Kill or run past the insects to reach a point ahead where you fall through the floor, killing any bugs around you. Follow the trail of glowing bugs to their nest at the end of the path. Shoot the nest down and kill the insects, then ascend with a wall jump. Blaze another trail through the darkness, following the approaching insects to their nest and destroying it. Slide under the rock ahead, and follow another trail of glowing insects back to their nest.
After destroying the nest, climb up the wall behind it and knock the guard at the top down. Dodge the rockets ahead and run along the wall to reach the soldiers firing them. Kill them, then wall run again to reach some shield wielders and soldiers, with a rocketeer up ahead. At the end, hold the triggers to cross the rope and alternate in the same manner as when kunai climbing to cross.
This will get you the Achievement, 'Rope Crossing.' Head up the stairs and kill the soldiers blocking your path, then cross another rope. At the end, a helicopter will attack you. Climb to the end and jump to the platform, then shoot the helicopter down while dodging its rockets.
Wall jump up to the next level, then engage a group of soldiers and shield wielders. After multiple waves, you can progress by climbing the wall at the end of the path, to the left. At the top, Falcon Dive into the control tower, killing one enemy, then finish the other. When the tower is beset by missiles, jump down for another Falcon Dive, killing an enemy below. Shoot the rocketeers surrounding you and kill the remaining soldiers on the ground, remembering to use your ultimate technique and ninpo when available.
After the fight, an eagle will fly down, granting you a chance to save and heal. Approach the main building door and hold both triggers, then tap the button shown to open it. Inside, you will face more alchemists like those in the previous level. Use heavy attacks to break through their shields and kill them.
Shoot the missile launcher enemy on the stairs, then head up to his location and a ghost will ambush you using a stealth cloak. Deflect his attack, and you will have to fight a group of ghost soldiers. Some will attack you directly while others turn invisible and throw grenades to impair you. However, when visible, the bow's aiming mode will reveal them while invisible and automatically lock on to them, allowing you to knock them out of their cloaks.
After the fight, head up the stairs again and head through the door at the top, following the path until you reach a hall of cases with dogs in them. Several of these dogs are real, and one will ambush you from the left as you pass. After this, all of the real armored dogs will burst through the glass and attack. As you pass the dinosaur exhibit, two ghosts will ambush you. A much larger group will attack when you reach the bulkhead door at the end of the hall.
Kill all of them, and the door will open. Inside, you'll have to fight a mechanically augmented tyrannosaurus rex. This enemy deals heavy damage with every attack, but is fortunately rather slow. Evade the rex's charge, and it will collapse on the ground, rendering its head vulnerable.
The rest of the time, the rex will attempt to bite you, step on you, or whip you with its tail, depending on where you are. If it bites you, it will chew you up and spit you out, dealing massive damage. If it steps on you, you can resist by tapping the strong attack button, but you'll have to tap quickly to repel the attack. The best manner of consistently damaging the dinosaur is getting your distance to make the dinosaur charge, then dodging the charge and causing it to fall. Attack its head until a scene occurs and you end up running from the dinosaur in a hallway. As you enter the labs, you'll have to jump over a couple piles of dinosaur bones, then duck under a missile. After the dinosaur grabs the missile in its mouth, shoot it to blow it up in the T.
Proceed in the next room, then immediately dodge to the left. Jump on the dinosaur's head and mash the strong attack button, and you'll face the beast in another open room.
Repeat the strategy of luring it into a charging attack and then hitting its head while it's down. After it takes enough damage, mash the power attack button to kill the dinosaur.
After a scene, you'll get the Achievement, 'Antediluvian Slumber.'
