You don't get the tons of enemies on screen, and the de-limbing was reduced while enemy health was buffed, slowing down the combat considerably. I know I did.Īlso, not to be the bearer of bad news, but Sigma 2 has all the decline of Ninja Gaiden 2, but without much of the incline. My advice is to skip Acolyte and go straight to Warrior. Hell, Acolyte and Warrior are the exact same in NG2, just that Acolyte gives Ryu absurd ability to soak damage. Also there is no new content added by difficulty levels, only some change up of the encounters, AI, and damage modifiers. There really isn't a "Hard" in Ninja Gaiden 2 though, you just get "Very Hard" in Mentor and then Master Ninja.
Season with an inferno ninpo or two if things get too hot.Īs for the sequel, Acolyte is actually Easy mode, with Warrior being Normal mode. Worse comes to worse, equip the Dabi, put on the armlet of celerity if you have it, use smoke bombs, and spam UTs. The laser crab section is downright brutal because those things are hard to take out in a crowded area. Chapter 1 and the Aqueduct chapter have the sharpest enemy placement changes and are probably the hardest areas of the game. Awakened Alma because giving her a few more projectiles makes it more likely she'll try and lead her shots (I forgot if she lost this ability in one of the many "nerfs" given in the transition from Black to Sigma), and Fiend Murai because he has a huge aggressiveness boost and uses his grabs anytime you get too greedy. Awakened Alma and Fiend Murai become downright nasty. You've already fought the Dragon Sword, Flails, Kitetsu, and Dabilahro versions this one uses a different weapon.
NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 CHAPTER CHALLENGE ARCHIVE
The challenge in the archive is downright brutal on Master Ninja, being comprised of Greater Basts and Red Ninja, the stadium challenge is a fight against 120 berserkers, and the great bridge challenge is downright brutal with laser crabs, ogres, and berserkers. Now you fight 120 enemies per challenge and some of them have become quite difficult. In Black, they are actually more forgiving than Very Hard mode's Scarab rewards, granting you extra healing items, rather than delaying acquisition of key items.
Do I have enough experience to start with Hard, or is the game different enough that I should still start with Normal?īro, I don't remember Sigma too well, but in Black the biggest Master Ninja changes were as follows: Am I wrong and just haven't gotten far enough?Īlso in case I do pussy out and start playing Sigma 2, what difficulty do I start on? From what I gather you can pick from Normal (Acolyte) and Hard (Warrior) right off the bat. But Master Ninja doesn't really seem to have any new enemies they're just more aggressive and shit costs more. They also replaced stock enemies with stronger versions with new attacks. The Hard level added the Fiend Ryu fights, and then Very Hard added Nicchaea and Ishtaros. Also I guess another thing is that the Master Ninja difficulty doesn't really seem to offer anything new.
I've been wanting to play Sigma 2 for a while but I was holding off until I beat the first game on Master Ninja. I don't know, it just feels like it's time I moved on. I'm currently at the beginning of Chapter 12 (the sewer level). The Master Ninja playthrough in particular has lasted close to two years, with me setting it down for long periods of time when I hit a difficult spot before picking it up again. I started Ninja Gaiden Sigma several years, and I've enjoyed it a lot (in all its ball-busting glory) but I feel like now I'm just going through the motions.
