The best Ninja Gaiden. Thanks for this very fun set! My first mastered game
IgMarRam 9 Sep 2022 23:42
Mastered!!! Nice Set, thanks to the authors!
duckfist 9 Aug 2023 06:13
Mastered, much easier set than NG1. Easily done in one sword-only speedrun, just collect all the scrolls and don't game over. Man I'm rusty.
Vanden 25 Oct 2023 20:46
@BenTobitt This article may grant insight, from a prototype cartridge.

https://www.nintendoplayer.com/prototype/ninja-gaiden-ii/

"One of the teased cutscenes shows an obvious visual change. Look closely at the symbol on Jaquioโ€™s chest. In the released American version, Jaquio has a pentagram, which is befitting for a spell-slinging sorcerer like himself..."

You can get more than 100 spells points.
automidnight 1 Feb 2024 04:25
Nice, a revision! There's a recurring "Cleasr" typo in the titles of the sword-only stage achievements, and it should be noted that the damageless boss achievements also seem to be magic-less too
Shmelyoff 1 Feb 2024 05:43
Thank you for heads up. Please reload the game to load fixed version no damage bosses without magic restriction.
KnockerKrazy 1 Feb 2024 22:40
Thanks for the revision and being quick on fixing issues, Shmelyoff! Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next!

Mastered. Easiest game in trilogy, 7-2 can be a pain tho
cart 9 Jun 2024 08:08
@DarkestOne finally beat it.. haven't played 3 but beat 1 and 2 within days of each other.. and like 10 years ago i could spend an hour and hardly reach stage 2 boss.. but today i got to 7-2 using only one continue.. certainly feels easier than 1 but im 10x better at these games than i was a week ago.. but OMFG i spent an absurd amount of time on 7-2. i had to use like 3 damage boosts and spent an absurd amount of time on it and because i was always so low on health near the checkpoint/boss door i didn't know about the health drops which, when i did i beat it almost instantly.. so glad i beat the bosses on their first attempt... because while i enjoyed the game quite alot 7-2 quite nearly ruined it all for me.. what hell.. way WAAAY worse than NG1's 6-2.. WAAAAY worse
RolfNorway 21 Jun 2024 05:22
Are the Cold Steel achievements only possible to attempt once per playthrough, or once for every continue?
Ness64 4 Jul 2024 11:34
Currently playing through this set, I can tell you that you can try them once per continue, and you only need the continue if you failed (died, used magic or got to heal) past that area's first screen.
The achievement wants you do it for that area from beginning to end, so if you fail it at the area's first screen, you can just take a death and try again right away (as you just respawn at the start of that area anyway)

What the....
O ninja Ryu รฉ aparentemente Gago, toda hora ele fala (What the) e nรฃo termina, falando sobre o jogo agora, ainda continua com os Spam chato do primeiro jogo, inimigos surgindo a cada passos, mas nada tรฃo injusto quanto o primeiro em questรฃo de Spam, morreu no รบltimo chefe? Volta para o 7-2 e chegue lรก novamente, removeram a pirueta com a espada, pra colocarem os clones e uma magia que desce atรฉ o inferno, os clones sรฃo bem รบteis, os grรกficos melhorem, mas nada tรฃo extraordinรกrio, as conquistas mais difรญceis foram de matar os รบltimos chefes sem tomar dano e sem usar as magias.

32 years ago I had beaten this game but now, it's finally mastered!

Great set. Had lots of fun except for the damageless cheevos but fortunately there's plenty of guides out there.

Ty for this, Ninja Gaiden II is just the best <3.
Dricoverso 7 Apr 2025 17:31
Finally, I did it! I've been playing for four months โ€” not continuously โ€” and it was definitely the toughest set for me so far.
