Tenchu: Fatal Shadows - Strategy Guide (Page 03)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Tenchu: Fatal Shadows - Strategy Guide (Page 03).
note: i was able to discover a good method of using this technique
recently. Let the enemy or boss perform a combo on you, guard the
first attack, release the C button then hold the C button again
and this technique will trigger around 80% of the time!
CHEETAH SPRINT
scrolls requirement: 150
description: Crouching low to the ground like a cheetah, a ninja can
launch into a great sprint. This technique is especially
useful in areas where there are many places to hide and many
corners to turn. This technique is practiced with weights
attached to one's leg.
note: a very useful technique when crossing blind corners or areas with
fences. Although the distance of the sprint is not that great, it
should give you ample time to run normally away from enemies and
avoid being spotted.
INNER EAR
scrolls requirement: 200
description: By sitting close to the ground and putting herself under a
state of hypnosis, a ninja can hear even the slightest
noise by picking up vibrations from the ground. It requires
great control over one's heartbeat and breathing to do this
technique.
note: once you learn this, you won't get enough of it. This is your radar
and its much _much_ reliable compared to your KI-meter because it
would show each and every enemy that's within your hearing range.
With this technique, you can study enemy patrol routes without
the danger of being caught because you can do this even behind walls
away from the ever searchful eyes of guards. One very important
reminder though, if the enemy doesnt move, then you won't be able to
pick them up on your radar, so you still have to look at your
KI-meter nevertheless.
ARROW BLOCK
scrolls requirement: 250
description: This tech allows ninjas to deflect any incoming projectiles.
It is thought that ninjas possibly possessed this skill,
but it seems unlikely, as it would have been more effective
to dodge arrows rather than stop and block.
note: I strongly suggest you just dodge any incoming projectile. That's
all i can say.
LONG CLAW
scrolls requirement: 300
description: A claw technique used in battle. Using the Grappling Hook,
this technique allows you to attack enemies after they have
been knocked back, though it requires much practice.
note: hitting an enemy with Ayame's helicopter kick is really difficult
(unless the target is cornered or Ayame is surrounded by enemies)
so i don't think you would be able to put this technique into good
use.
SNIPER
scrolls requirement: 350
description: In addition to the Hawk Eye technique, a ninja can further
train her eye so that she can strike at enemy pressure
points and vital organs with a Shuriken even at a great
distance.
note: very useful technique if you're overflowing with Shurikens and
you're short of Blowguns. Aiming for the head is kind hard, if the
enemy is so far, try to aim above the head and let gravity do its
work to hit the head.
MIND CONTROL
scrolls requirement: 400
description: This ninja technique allows the ninja to use hypnosis to
control the mind of her target. As long as the target is not
jarred out of the hypnosis by any strong stimuli, the target
will remain under her control.
note: an indispensable technique on rooms or areas with more than 2
enemies. Perform this technique on one enemy then quickly stealth
kill the others and come back for the enemy who's still under
hypnosis and stealth kill him as well.
SPIDER'S NEST
scrolls requirement: 450
description: This technique allows you to stick to any ceiling and
observe enemy movements from below. Only a true ninja who has
undergone intense physical training has the discipline to
use this technique.
note: you can only use this tecnique inside houses, never outdoors, but
still, its quite handy, especially on Ayame's A Sister's Promise
mission.
FALSE WALL
scrolls requirement: 500
description: A great deal of a ninja's power comes from the manipulation
of people's senses. The False Wall technique allows a ninja
to blend into surrounding walls using sheets of cloth
painted in patterns to match those walls.
note: one pf Ayame's best techniques in this game. You can virtually
creep up to the enemy, use this technique and follow the enemy
again as long as you like. This technique allows you to get past
areas that are tough-as-hell especially if you don't have any
Invisibility and Chameleon spells left in your inventory w/o ever
being spotted.
WRATH
scrolls requirement: 550
description: When surrounded by enemies, Ayame can spend a moment
focusing her inner energies, then lash out in a great attack,
striking all those nearby. In this game, Ayame has yet to
perfect this technique. She has perfected it since however.
note: a very strong offensive technique, but the charge time and
execution time really pulls down its effectiveness, but if you want
to finish a boss or enemy with style, then i'd recommend this
technique for you to try and enjoy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/RIN/
FANG GUARD
scrolls requirement: 10
description: This technique allows you to parry enemy attacks. It
requires speed, accuracy , and strength. A ninja who
performs this technique incorrectly will put herself at a
disadvantag and possibly be even killed.
note: this is Rin's version of Ayame's Swift Guard. So again, avoid using
this move, unless you're confident that you can pull it off.
note: see 2nd note on Ayame's Swift Guard ^_^
ARROW BLOCK
scrolls requirement: 30
description: This tech allows ninjas to deflect any incoming projectiles.
It is thought that ninjas possibly possessed this skill,
but it seems unlikely, as it would have been more effective
to dodge arrows rather than stop and block.
note: same as Ayame's. ^_^
DEATH DROP
scrolls requirement: 60
description: catching an enemy while in the air, this technique allows
Rin to drive them into the ground without a chance to
recover. With that amount of force that the enemy hits the
ground, they are almost guaranteed not to survive.
note: Its true that enemies won't survive this attack, but only those
who patrol in missions 1-4. Bosses take about 30 points of damage
from the combo + Death Drop. _Do not use this move_ if the enemy
was able to block the upward-slash of Rin because when she lands,
she's a sitting duck.
WALL RUN
scrolls requirement: 100
description: With this techinique, ninjas can jump toward a wall, then
continue to run up the wall and jump off the wall. It
requires great leg, stomach, and even back muscles to keep
balance and perfect this technique.
note: same as Ayame's. ^_^
HAWK EYE
scrolls requirement: 150
description: Allows the ninja to see further than the naked eye. Legend
says that the ninja had eyes as acute as a hawk's. Whether
this was due to training or use of tools is now known, but
perhaps it was a special skill like this that gave them this
power
note: same as Ayame's. ^_^
CRIMSON
scrolls requirement: 200
description: This technique was described in an ancient tome as such:
"To destroy the body that which supports it, destroy the
enemies bones, and he shall not move. But crush his skull,
and he shall not awaken
note: just think of this technique like Nina from the Tekken series, in
fact, performing this move requires timing, so you can't really
execute the commands over and over again to make it work. This
technique looks good and deals good damage.
NUMBING STRIKE
scrolls requirement: 250
description: By applying pressure on a specific pressure point, a ninja
can temporarily shut down an enemy's nervous system,
effectively paralyzing them for a short while. The victim
will not be able to see or hear for the duration of the
paralysis.
note: use this on stationary enemies so that when they're paralyzed, you
can run around and kill nearby enemies who're patrolling with ease.
Be quick though, the duration of the paralysis ain't that long so
try to study the patrol routes of the enemies first and determine
the best time for you to perform this technique on one enemy and
stealth kill the others.
SHADOW
scrolls requirement: 300
description: With this technique, a ninja is able to become onw with the
shadows and hide her form from suspicious eyes. While in
Shadow form, Rin can approach targets, even from the front,
and perform stealth kills with ease.
note: if you thought the Invisibility spell's effectivity was too darn
short, then wait till you try out Rin's Shadow technique.
Be careful when you use this technique because executing this move
would actually cause Rin to stand up (which gives the enemy a
chance to spot you) then perform a backflip before the
technique takes effect. And keep in mind that Rin can only stay in
Shadow form for about 5-6 seconds, but that should be sufficient
for Rin to set-up a stealth kill or get away from the ever-searchful
eye of guards in the game.
LONG CLAW
scrolls requirement: 350
description: same as Ayame's ^_^
note: Rin's spinning slash is actually faster in the execution dept.
compared to Ayame's helicopter attack so Rin stands a better
chance of using and performing this technique succesfully
compared to Ayame.
SPIDER'S NEST
scrolls requirement: 400
description: same as Ayame's ^_^
note: same as Ayame's ^_^
SNIPER
scrolls requirement: 450
description: same as Ayame's ^_^
note: same as Ayame's ^_^
MIMICRY
scrolls requirement: 500
description: By mimicking the sound of an animal, a ninja can manipulate
the senses of anyone close enough to hear. This technique
is best used when Rin has accidentally made a sound, and
guards have grown suspicious.
note: Use this technique whenever the enemy's status is on the yellow "?"
and they should go back to the green "?" status in a cinch.
CRIMSON FINAL
scrolls requirement: 550
description: In the last stage of the Crimson attack, a master ninja can
crush her enemy's skull in such a way that nothing can ever
revive him. It is truly a fearsome technique.
note: if you manage to perform this technique, then say hello to loads of
damage. I always attempt to grab my enemy and send them to heaven
using the hip throw+crimson+crimson final combo.

/UNLOCKABLES/
COSTUMES
Once you unlock this section, you can choose a costume that Ayame or Rin
would be wearing in the game or cutscene. Here's a complete list of the
costumes that you can unlock as well as a brief description of each costume:
AYAME
Blossom - this is Ayame's default costume, you start the game with this.
Wrath - finish the game once and you would unlock this costume. Its
a black outfit which is almost the same as the Blossom costume.
This is actually Ayame's costume in Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven
Peony - beat Jyuzou on the "A Dark Night" group with 23 minutes left
on your clock and it would allow you to fight 2 Ayames at the
same time. Beat the 2 Ayames and you would unlock this costume.
This is basically a red outfit with Ayame's legs and arms
revealed. (my fave costume ^_^)
Indigo - to unlock this costume, use the method indicated above. Its a
black outfit which is pretty normal looking. This is the
costume that Ayame was wearing in the first Tenchu game which
was Stealth Assassins
RIN
Majesty - Rin's default costume.
Scarlet - finish the game once to unlock this. Its basically a blue
outfit with a red, patterned scarf arround Rin's neck. Very
cool looking.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RED BLADE
Beat the game once to unlock this slug-it-out, royal rumble mode inside
the Encyclopaedia menu. Basically, it asks you first which character you
wanna use, then you would be allowed to choose which group you wanna fight.
Now, the roster in that group would drop one by one to attack you and if you
don't kill them fast enough, you would be overwhelmed. Each group also has
a specific set of items to start with and depending upon the situation, you
can pick up some items on the duration of the match. Each group has a specific
length of time and to succesfully complete it, you must finish all the enemies
inside that group _or_ you let the time run out while still being alive. The
following is a description of each group and list of starting items:
1. Requiem - regular spearman/swordman/archer
items - 3x Smoke Bomb, 3x Grenade, 5x Healing Potion
2. Ninja Hordes - regular ninja with sword/claw, kunoichi
items - 3x Smoke Bomb, 4x Healing Potion
3. Mercenaries - masked mercenary w/ claw/sword, geisha
items - 3x Smoke Bomb, 3x Healing Potion
4. Monk's Battle - monk w/ staff/blowgun, bald monk (martial artist type)
items - 6x Anti-Poison, 3x Healing Potion
5. Mercenaries 2 - masked swordman, bald monk (wrestler type),
and kunoichi with dark outfit
items - 3x Healing Potion
6. New Requiem - special spearman/swordman/archer
items - 3x Healing Potion
7. A Dark Night - all of the bosses in the game
items - 5x Healing Potion
note: selecting the "A Dark Night" group would allow you to fight the
bosses one by one (except for the Attack Horde and Futaba/Hitoha) with 3
minutes each on the clock, if you manage to beat a boss under 3 minutes, let's
say 20 seconds, then 2 minutes and 40 seconds would carry over the next boss
that you would need to fight. If you manage to beat Jyuzou though with 23
minutes left in the clock (no more, no less), you would be facing 2 Ayame's
at the same time. Beat them and you unlock 2 costumes for Ayame. You can also
win here by letting the clock run out or beating Jyuzou.
