+ Introduction +
=--------------=


The reason why I am writing this FAQ is to provide everyone with a full 
walkthrough on Rikimaru without giving away Plot details.  When I read a 
walkthrough I don't want to know what happens about the story and only wish 
to beat the level/mission I am on. I hope this helps you out.

To give you a little bit of knowledge about the background of Rikimaru here 
is a part taken out of the Tenchu 2 PAL Instruction booklet:

Dilligent and unassuming, Rikimaru has worked steadily since childhood to 
become a skilled shadow warrior.  As a ninja, his self-confidence and sense 
of destiny is unshakeable.  He would lay down his life for his lord without 
a moment's doubt.

If you wish to email me then send all praise, info or even flames (if you 
wish) to sk3lt@hotmail.com.

Oh and I tried an attempt at making the ascii title... do you like it?

I remember when Tenchu came out and was a silent success due to Metal Gear 
Solid. But now that MGS has passed, Tenchu 2 deserves the right for glory 
and it has succeeded although it has gotten fairly bad reviews. I feel that 
it is a brilliant effort and might be a little biased since there isn't 
anything to compare this game to - since it is a fairly new category (ninja 
sim). 

Now on to the review... 

Story: 10/10 

This is taken from the instruction booklet:

The old regime has fallen, and civil war now threatens to tear Japan apart.
Regional warlords, blind with ambition, wage bloody campaigns for territory 
in the hope of one day hoisting their flag over the imperial city.

Only Lord Gohda Matsunoshin places the welfare of his subjects over his own 
ambitions, and forsakes the brutal power struggle.  His just and 
compassionate rule earns him the love and respect of his people and the 
hatred of his rivals.

For generations uncounted, the House of Gohda has called upon the Azuma 
Ninja in times of need.  In his darkest hour, Gohda Matsunoshin again 
requests the help of the mysterious shadow warriors.  When three young 
ninja step forward to save the House of Gohda, they find themselves in a 
fierce battle with a sinister force that threatens to change the course of 
history.

A little note to add: The story will make you go through a full range of 
emotions and I never thought a game could do this to me since Final Fantasy 
VII. 

Visuals: 8/10 

The graphics are a mixed bag... maybe I am spoilt with all the next gen 
console graphics but when I see this game it kind of makes me wish it was 
on a new console. Although don't get me wrong this is one of the best 
graphics for the PSX but there is still a fair share of clipping and 
pixellation. 

But the levels are fairly big and the character animation is spot on. A 
great job! 

Audio: 8/10 

What happened to the music? Well that and the way Ayame sounds is the only 
faults I could find with the Audio. All sounds immerse you into the game 
further and I guess without the music it makes you feel you are actually 
there. 

Gameplay: 8/10 

The game play has stayed the same from the first other then a few other 
features. 

You can now drag bodies which comes in handy sometimes and there is a 
Mission editor where you can make your own levels. So this makes the game 
have a lot of replay value. 

The camera angles and control still are glitchy but the more you play the 
game the better you get. 

The game plays very similar to the original Tenchu being that you are a 
Ninja assigned to certain tasks and you should undergo these tasks using 
stealth and a wide arrange of stealth kills, the stealth kills have to be 
seen to believed although they can't be skipped and you will get attacked 
by other enemies whilst still finished the animation. 

----- 

Overall: 9/10 

One of the final good quality PSX games... a must buy!

+ Controls +
=----------=


When I first started the game I had problems with the controls so why not 
add the controls to the FAQ?  Also note that I am using the PAL version of 
the game so controls might differ to the NTSC version.

L2/R2    - Select Item
L1       - Look Around
R1       - Stealth
Up       - Advance
Left     - Move Left
Right    - Move Right
Down     - Retreat/Defend
Select   - Map
Start    - Start/Pause Game
Triangle - Use Item
Circle   - Defend
Square   - Attack
Cross    - Jump

Drag Dead Body - the R1 button + the circle button (while weapon is 
sheathed)
Sheathe Sword  - Hold down the Square button or double tap the circle 
button
Search Dead Ninja for Item - press the R1 button over the enemy

+ Questions +
=-----------=


I thought I might as well add a Questions section so if you have any 
questions that you wish to have here then email me at sk3lt@hotmail.com


Q. I've heard you can chop a guard's head off but I can't seem to do it why 
not?

A. Well since censors are so tough in European states all PAL games have 
taken the feature out so you wont be able to behead a enemy if you have the 
PAL version of the game, but if you have the NTSC version then you might be 
able to do it if you are lucky.  I've heard that it only happens at random 
but unfortunately I own the PAL version which means I can't behead a guard 
as well :(


Response:

>> A way to decapitate people, you must run for about 3-4 seconds straight
at the enemy without stopping or turning and press SQUARE at the last 
second. Be careful to not bump into the person or you'll get a different 
kill. It's hard, but not impossible. I've done this kill 4 times. 
To amputate, it's very hard. The only time I amputated someone is in the
gang of thieves with Rikimaru. I went on house with the thief with the 
scythes under the roof. I jumped slightly to the left or right as to hit 
his arm, not the head, and pressed SQUARE. I did this move twice. 

- WhoisyerDADDAY (GameFAQs Message Board)

(Hint: Use the cloak of invisibility to make decapitation easier)


Q. What other features are taken out of the PAL game?

A. Well other then the above feature, shurikens have been changed to knives 
and some sound effects (anyone know which ones?) have been taken out.


Q. How do I drag a dead body?

A. Well you have to be on a flat surface otherwise it wont work and all you 
do is go up to the body and hold R1 and Circle then move your character and 
if it worked your character should have hold of the body with one hand and 
would be dragging him/her on the floor.


Q. I can't beat Ayame's levels!!!!!!

A. Well you are looking in the wrong place if you want help with Ayame, try 
looking at Matt Hulberts FAQ for help.  You can find it in the GameFAQs 
Tenchu 2 FAQ section.  I must add it's a really good FAQ!


Q. I can't beat Tatsumaru's levels!!!

A. Like I said above this is only a walkthrough for Rikimaru.


Q. What are all the Stealth Kills?

A. Well all of Rikimaru's are below in the section "Stealth Kills" but for 
a more detailed look into Stealth Kills check out JDrakes FAQ in the 
GameFAQs section.


Q. What is the Ki meter?

A. The ki meter tells you how close you are to a enemy and whether the enemy
is aware of you.  The number beneath the ki meter will grow depending on
how close you are, for example you would be very close to an enemy if it 
says '86' but if it says '10' you wouldn't be close to the enemy.


Q. What are those symbols on the ki meter and what do they mean?

A. Well this information is taken from the PAL instruction booklet:

The Ki meter reads four different emotional states:

(?) You are near another enemy, but the character hasn't sensed your presence.
(!) The enemy has sensed something, but doesn't yet know what or who you are.
(!?) The enemy is in a heightened state of alert. Move carefully and hide
until the enemy goes back to normal state.
(!!) The enemy has spotted you and is preparing to attack.  It's too late to
hide now, you must either attack or run away.


Q. The ki meter when to (!) but it wasn't an enemy character.

A. Yeh that's a problem as the Ki meter cannot tell the difference between an
enemy character and a civilian.


Q. At the end of the mission I got a score, how is this score worked out?

A. Well you get 20 points for each stealth kill you do, and for each normal
kill you do you get 5 points.  If you are not spotted during the whole mission
you get 300 points, but for each time you are spotted 30 points is removed from
your end score. If you kill a civilian you lose 150 points.


Q. Why can you drag a dead body even though the enemies dont even notice the 
bodies?

A. They actually do notice the bodies of their fallen friends occasionally during
the game not as much as I would like them to but yeh dragging is pretty useless 
as you can't drag uphills or downhills or anywhere bumpy as your character will
automatically let go.

But tenchu 2 does have its faults but its still at brilliant game!


Q.  Are each characters storyline different?

A.  Yes!  To get the full storyline in Tenchu 2 you will _have_ to play through
the game with each of the 3 characters... Rikimaru, Ayame and Tatsumaru.


Q.  What weapon does Rikimaru use throughout the game?

A.  Rikimaru has access to a wide range of items (see item list in this FAQ) but
his main weapon is a katana.  Which is pretty powerful and has a good attack range.

+ Tips +
=------=


- Never turn your back on an enemy as you will find it very hard to
position your again in return for an attack or even to block

- When swimming make sure you don't rise to the surface too quickly as
you might jump out of the water into the hands of an enemy

- Make sure you check your ki meter at regular intervals

- Never risk your life at something always go out into battle knowing
you are going to win

- Never kill the innocent

- Never bring attention to yourself



=---------------=
+ Stealth Kills +
=---------------=


These are all of Rikimaru's stealth kills (well the eighth stealth kill is 
still a mystery):

>> To do his first stealth kill press square when behind the enemy

>> To do his stealth kill press the R1 button to crouch then press square 
in any position

>> To do his third stealth kill press the X button to jump then press 
square in any position or whilst falling

>> To do his fourth stealth kill press square when directly in front of 
guard 

>> To do his fifth stealth kill press square when on the guard's left side

>> To do his sixth stealth kill press square when on the guard's right side

>> To do his seventh stealth kill press square just after you bump (when a 
? or !? appears on the ki meter press square) into an enemy

Kill FAQ at GameFAQs <www.gamefaqs.com>

+ Walkthrough +
=-------------=


This walkthrough is not intended for you to attain "Grandmaster" status it 
is just a guide for you to follow in passing Rikimaru's missions.  I will 
not try to give out any crucial plot details.


>> TRAINING LEVEL

Basically what the name of the level says a "training level", pretty simple
in that all you have to do is follow Master's instructions and work on 
things like throwing knives.

Work your way through each task and make way for the next level


>> GANG OF THIEVES

When you first start head down the rock cliff and head towards the east 
till you come to an open area with wooden houses, on the left are red 
pillars and at the top of the stairs is an enemy - kill him then keep going 
up the stairs until you see another enemy, once you kill him go towards the 
door which is partly open and you will see the next cut scene.

How to fight the boss:  Keep far away from him and when he goes to pull out 
his pipe run to the back of him and starting swiping.  Make sure you don't 
walk into the smoke as it will leave you blinded for a bit and then he could 
attack you.  Keep staying back and then attack when he least expects it.


>> TREASON AT GOHDA CASTLE

What you have to do with this mission is make your way to the top of the 
castle, this is pretty simple as all you have to do is walk around each 
level (make sure enemies don't spot you as you will have a good fight on 
your hands) till you see a ramp and head up the ramp till you get to a 
level where there is nowhere to go. You will see some white doors, chop 
them and make your way to the next section and then follow the ramps up 
till you get to Lord Gohda's chamber.  Note that in this level there are 
enemies with spears do not try to attack them face on as the spears are 
longer then your sword so you will be getting hit a lot, try for a stealth 
kill.  Also there are parts in the level where you will see fallen wooden 
boards, which look like they lead to a higher level, but you cannot go up 
these boards as they only hit the roof.

How to beat the boss: Just attack until he is down to little health then 
the screen will cut


>> LORD TODA'S WAR CAMP

All you have to do to get pass the level is keep going north all the time 
using your grapling hook to go up onto the higher levels and then you just 
run up the end hill and into the opening to Lord Toda's War Camp, you will 
see it there is just one enemy outside it and when you enter the opening 
the cut scene will appear.

How to beat the boss: To defeat Suzaku all you have to do is run up and 
attack him and try not to let him get any attacks in if he does just block 
his attacks.  You don't have to worry about killing him as the game will 
cut to a cut scene as soon as he is at low health.  But don't worry you 
will finish him off in one of Rikimaru's later missions.


>> DEMON MOUNTAIN

Use your grappling hook to climb the big mountain and once you are at the 
top head right until you come to a gap between two rocks.  Jump into the 
middle and head towards the left until you come to a stream, do not cross 
the stream but instead turn right until you come to quite a few pillars use 
the grappling hook and shoot the top of the pillar which is the closest to 
the rock face on the left then jump on to the rock and stealth kill the 
enemy there (very easy stealth kill just hide behind the rock until he 
turns around then kill him).  You will see a little pillar in the gap 
between the two mountains, jump onto the pillar then wait until the enemy 
turns around and jump onto the other mountain.  Jump up onto the higher 
level and make your way across the bridge and you will then see the screen 
fade.

How to beat the boss: Very easy to beat, all you have to do is strike him 
hard until he falls off and then jump down and keep running away and coming 
back and striking him.  Do this until dead.


>> THE SECRET HARBOR

All you have to do is head straight until you come to the ocean and head 
along the shoreline until you come to the jetty then jump on the boat, head 
to the left and fight the boss. Be careful of the enemies in this level, as 
there are riflemen that are hidden in the rocks ready to pick you off and 
also try not to venture out into the ocean, as there is a hungry shark.  
Something cool to do is kill an enemy and try to make him fall into the 
water and watch the shark come and eat him.  :)

How to beat the boss: The boss you are fighting is Xiang, a very fast boss 
who can quickly take a lot of energy of you if you are unprepared.  Just 
circle the middle pole and attack him from behind.


>> THE TEMPLE OF DREAMS

When you start head around the temple heading north until you come to a 
smaller temple, enter the east side of the temple and await the boss.

How to beat the boss: Yukihotaru is the boss who is Suzaku's girlfriend.  
She is pretty easy to beat all you have to do is make sure you do not get 
led into a corner as it is very very hard to get out of that, just finish 
her off up close.


>> NINJA VILLAGE UNDER ATTACK

The whole idea of this mission is to kill every enemy on the stage.  Not a 
real hard mission but a fun one indeed.  The level is kind of like a square 
so go to one corner and sweep the area before heading to the next corner.  
Make sure to check the passage in between the bamboo trees as well as there 
is one guy there as well.  Have fun

How to beat the boss: You will fight your friend Tatsumaru in this one.  
The fight is pretty hard as Tatsumaru is very quick but if you keep 
attacking and blocking you will be able to get him down to low health ready 
for the next cut scene to kick in.


>> IN PURSUIT OF TATSUMARU

Another one of those head north levels.  Just keep a watch out for bowman 
and those girls with the huge claws as they roam around the level.  So all 
you do is keep heading north from where you start off.  Simple isn't it?

How to beat the boss: You will be up against Byakko this time around and he 
is a little guy (midget actually) who can do some damage.  Just keep doing 
low hits such as hitting when crouching and you will defeat him quite 
easily.


>> THE KANSEN CAVERNS

You will start in the beginning of the cavern, head straight and down into 
a gap in the cavern, then jump into the water and swim to you get to the 
ledge and jump onto the ledge. Head straight until you get to a higher 
level and jump up and then turn right through the tunnel.  Now make your 
way through the maze section (it is pretty hard to give you the directions 
through this maze as there is many routes to take but they all end heading 
into the same area).  Once you end up at the end of the tunnel you will 
make way for a cut scene.  Be careful with this level as there is many 
enemies and many traps.  Make sure you have a lot of anecdote because you 
will be poisoned a couple of times as well.

How to beat the boss: No boss


>> SEA BATTLE

A pretty easy level you will start off on a shore so jump in the water and 
swim north-west all the way past all the boats until you come to a massive 
boat (you will know which one it is trust me).  You will see a part where 
the huge boat attaches itself to a medium sized boat, so jump on the medium 
sized boat and stealth kill the bowman there.  Walk to the end point of the 
boat and you will see, Suzaku one of the end bosses. He will talk to you 
for a bit then you will battle him.

How to beat the boss: Just keep backing away and try to lose him then catch 
him surprised and start swiping.  Repeat until he is dead.

The screen will fade away now and you will appear on another boat just keep 
heading north but watch out for enemies.  Once you come to the point where 
you can't go north any more, go towards the left side of the boat and jump 
onto the other boat next to it.  The Screen will fade and you will see 
another cut scene making way to battle the last boss of Rikimaru's 
missions, Kagami.

How to beat the boss: Just keep hitting her until she falls over then go 
around her so her back is facing your front and hit her.  She will fall 
over and repeat until the next cut scene (she changes weapons from a fan to 
a sword). Since she is using a sword now it has a greater range plus the 
sword can sometimes penetrate your block.  All I can say is run until she 
loses you and attack when she can't see you.  Or even go on higher ground 
and jump down and attack.  Good luck, but don't worry its not as hard as it 
seems.

Once you have beaten her, sit back and relax and watch the end movie.  
Congratulations you have completed all of Rikimaru's missions.

>> During some moves/stealth kills Rikimaru's blade seems to be going 
through his own body. 

>> Enemies seem to be able to move like a ghost through walls and such

>> Blood has been seen to stay in the air

>> Stealth Kills cut out when you go on and inclined hill or next to a
wall.  Also if the enemy is on the hill and you go to do a stealth kill
no stealth kill animation plays but your character just does a one hit
kill by swinging their weapon, pretty boring.

>> I was doing the waterfall level once and the scratch memory for the 
graphics ran out (or something similar) because the detail on the mountain
(I was about halfway up) disappeared entirely. 

It was extremely surreal, objects were still there -- I could see trees and
bushes floating in space, as well as people walking 30 feet up in the air 
above my head. I was able to sort of pick my way based on where people were, 
and trees, and having already done the level...but eventually I fell to my 
doom. That didn't fix the problem, so eventually I had to reset my PSX. 

Anyone else have this happen?

- Genbu (GameFAQs Msg Board)

>> This happens to me quite often. It's really annoying too. I'll be in the 
middle of a stealth kill movie thing and it will go right to a normal kill. 
It will show so of me slitting their throat and half way through it and it 
will show me cutting the guy in the back normally. Does this crap happen to 
you guys? And is it possible to fix it? 

- KoRnKid54 (GameFAQs Msg Board)

>> <Reply to above glitch> Well the reason of this is the stealth kill must 
of taken place at the base of a hill and led to the hill or taken place next 
to a wall. 

And since the developers doesn't want enemies fallin into the ground or 
through a wall they cancel the animation and your enemie just dies normally. 
That is why sometimes when you press [] you dont do a stealth kill. 

- Me <dcdaytona> (GameFAQs Msg Board)

>> <Reply to above glitch> It will also happen at the edge of pits, water,
walls, etc. 

The stealth-kill animation isn't like a clip that plays -- the game actually
changes the location of your character based on what you're doing in the 
stealth kill, and actually pushes you back a little bit at the beginning of 
some of them (which is why if you're on the edge of a platform or next to a 
pit you can sometimes die by starting a stealth kill). 

Also, keep in mind that you can still be hurt while doing a stealth kill, if 
there's another guard nearby who spots you and comes over to you while you're
still locked in the animation. Pretty stupid to do an elaborate kill dance 
when someone's about to stab you, but...oh well.

- Genbu (GameFAQs Msg Board)

>> <Reply to above glitch> Heh! Heh! That happens a lot in both Tenchus. A 
couple of years back, when I first played through Tenchu 1 and was on the last
mission. I didn't have a guide then and I was playing blind. Using Ayame, I'd 
been playing for about 2 hrs. and had got quite deep into the lava caverns.
Feeling quite proud of myself, having topped the 1st boss and stealth killed a
lot of enemy, I went for this guy on a narrow ledge. Having doing a perfect 
stealth kill, Ayame started her victory pose and ''victory posed'' herself 
straight over the canyon edge into the lava stream. I of course panicked and 
she burned up. I sat there open mouthed for what seemed an eternity, then the
air turned BLUE! 

- jimbojan (GameFAQs Msg Board)

>> <Reply to above glitch> There's a narrow bridge on level 3 over a bottomless
pit in Tenchu 1. It's very easy to dance your way into it if you're not careful. 

Another installment of The Stupidest Ninja in the World...
