Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (NES) - Act V
Picking up after defeating Naga Sotuva, the start has gunners, bats, sneaky ball bots, and rushing club men. Go down a ladder and you’ll enter a room with spikes. Be sure to watch for gooey crabs and fire blocking some spots. Knock out some elite guards along with skeleton warriors and fall between spikes to go deeper. The path gets more difficult with pumpkin head warriors and axe throwers. The next area takes place on an iceberg with reptiles armed with clubs. Icy surfaces are slippery and precision braking won’t be easy. Spiders will release fireballs and drop when you’re up close to them. Go down some ladders and some rushing knife men will come by. After going through a tough obstacle course, Ryu will find Ashtar, but Irene will be struck by the Sword of Chaos. Robert will arrive, only to be held back by a stunning spell. During the duel with Ashtar, the boss will teleport and release shock waves in 8 different directions. After defeating this boss, Ashtar will vanish.
