Ninja Gaiden (NES) - Act VI
Various species including bats, gunners, spin kickers, reptile cannons, white doves, axe throwers, and sneaky iguanas are in the path. The interior has rookie swordsmen, street boxers, club throwers, sneaky ninjas, bats, and jet ninjas. Climb the ladder and continue to battle the same species in the path. Climb even higher and you’ll witness burglars, brown eagles, elite swordsmen, and skeletal sword throwers. The next part of the interior has the same enemies you faced before. You’ll climb some ladders and encounter a boomerang axe thrower as you go along. Once you go far, voices will come from somewhere before The Masked Devil arrives on scene. A voice coming from somewhere will explain that Ryu’s father was not really killed, but has instead been transformed into The Masked Devil. As Blood Malth was truthful all along, Ryu has no choice but to battle The Masked Devil and find out for himself. The Masked Devil will slowly approach holding 2 big swords and is veiled by a set of fireballs. Aim for the core of the statue in the center, but keep your distance in case it shoots any fireballs. Take out the statue and Ryu’s father will be restored to his old self again, not really having to have died after all. An enraged demon unleashes its power with Ryu’s father stepping in to protect his son. The demon is revealed to be Jaquio. Jaquio will move swiftly and drop fireballs from above. The fireballs will swerve from below, so time your movements to dodge them. Once you’re up close, attack the demon. After defeating the demon, the girl from the bar will come in after being freed. A lunar eclipse will occur, meaning that both statues will take effect, giving the rebirth of the true demon. The demon’s final form will release shadowy fire everywhere. Once its head releases, strike the tail and aim for the core. After defeating the demon’s final form, Ryu’s father dies. Ryu and the girl must leave as the temple collapses. Ryu will hear the voice of Foster of the CIA from a mysterious medallion controlled by satellite, who explains that this was his plan for using Ryu to enter the temple to put an end to the crisis. The girl intervenes and will identify herself to be Irene. The pair stand on the cliff and witness the sun rise.
