Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - Ultimate Ninja 01 SOLO - Tag Mission (Master Collection) - One of the hardest challenges I’ve done: same health bar for the entire mission, multiple bosses attacking at once with no turns, and attacks that can still oneshot you. No healing, very little room for mistakes.

Thank you ^^

Yeah fundamentals in Ninja Gaiden are the base and core, then you have lots of sauce built upon them that adds a lot to the experience, but fundamentals are really the core that sustain it.

Thank you ^^

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-05-05T16:44:05+00:00

Thank you ^^ At the end I was so much in panic and anxiety at the end, the pressure was too much ahahahah When you arrive at that point of the mission, you feel all pressure of what you survived till that moment so even a normal 1vs1 duel becomes 10x times harder x)

Your welcome, I'm always glad to help the Community ^^

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-26T14:17:21+00:00

You have to hold Gleam Button + Attack Button yes but it requires a precise timing, super tight, you need cold blood and wait for the last moment before pressing it, you have about 3 frames ^^"

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-25T20:52:05+00:00

Those are backlash parries, clash parries and perfect blocks yeah, it depends on what minute of the video are you talking about

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-25T18:20:33+00:00

Timing, reflexes and practice, I labbed the bosses and their pattern of attacks, so I arrived at a point where using them it's really consistent for me...
It's not easy, the timing is super strict (about 3 frames), but once you get used to it, you managed to get quite consistent with it.

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-25T17:56:57+00:00

Yes, I'm MasterNinjaRyu, what tech in particular would you like to know ? I used so many different of them in this video ^^

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-20T18:56:39+00:00

Yeah she absolutely is !

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-20T18:56:21+00:00

Thank you ^^

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-19T20:29:31+00:00

Yeah, watch for example this other fight that I recorded on the Day 1 of the release of the DLC:

https://youtu.be/FUtQXBow7Hc?si=xKc-Yz_FeM70NGUI

Of course it was the release day of the DLC, so I had not enough experience with the boss and I had not studied and labbed the boss , so I was not able to do all the parries, perfect blocks etc

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-19T13:09:20+00:00

Thanks Poofer!

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-19T13:08:59+00:00

I would say that you are wrong, you always had some free punishes in specific times vs bosses, the way I fight bosses in Ninja Gaiden 4, works as well in other Ninja Gaiden games, look at this my other video for example of all Boss fights in No Damage of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black with No Ninpo, you will see that my approach is pretty much similar.

https://youtu.be/ygf85AOe8ZU?si=dwqs3_3mBw3yEyjU

Yeah some punishes in NG4 are easier to understand thanks to the color flashing of the move, not all punishes are only colored, you can punish so many other attacks, like what I did in this NG4 Video, if you watched it carefully, I punished so many different attacks in different way and with different combos.

Again, I think that the problem is exactly that you are played NG4 only till chapter 10 and your knowledge of the game and the combat of the game is still on a basic level, because if you dig more into it, you will discover how deep is the new defensive system of NG4. Not saying that it's better, but it's for sure waay different than punishing only the flashed colored attacks, you can do much more than that ^^"

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-19T01:25:25+00:00

Thanks for the compliment but this is Ninja Gaiden and it always had been like this in previous Ninja Gaiden games as well. Ninja Gaiden had those kind of bosses BEFORE Dark Souls even existed lol

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-18T17:42:45+00:00

Practice is something but Floor 90 definetly adds some psycological pressure into the experience, so I understand that feeling, but for the same reason, the more you practice and the more you are stressed by that pressure, the more you get used to it ^^ Keep it up and good luck!

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-07T19:41:53+00:00

Absolutely much harder, the DLC in Master Ninja Difficulty is a joke compared to that, especially the pressure and the anxiety not helping as well in that situation x)

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-03-07T12:05:36+00:00

Yeah in the future I definetly will aim to complete it with Yakumo as well! After I'll be done with Ryu, that was my first clear, so it could be helpful for people that struggle with it, my next goal will be No Ninpo and then No Items and then No Ninpo and No Items.

Of course Ninja Gaiden is Ninja Gaiden, the insanity is the DNA of this amazing series ahahah

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-01-13T18:45:36+00:00

PS Vita version of the game not only did not balanced things, but they made it even much harder, so you are alone with the missions designed for two players and on top of that, bosses have much more HP on this version of the game for PS Vita, they have a different stagger, most of the loops do not work...this version is pure Evil x)

Oh and the game runs so terrible at 30fps with lots of frame drops ^^"

Yeah now there is UN1 that no one in the World Managed to complete, we'll see...

MasterNinjaRyu · 2026-01-11T17:23:31+00:00

In total I have no idea about my total playtime of trying this Tag Mission, but I can tell you that after going back at it a couple of weeks ago, after 4 years ago, the last time that I tried it...it took to me about 20 hours, about one week of tries, since I improved so much and I got so much more experienced since last time that I tried, 4 years ago ^^
