NINJA GAIDEN 4: Anyone Else Find the First Boss Absolutely Insane?
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Not at all, but then again, i adopted the new tech(bloodbind/raven techniques to break their stance) early on, broke the dude down every chance i saw to do so, and he folded like a deck of cards on the second or third…
What you need to know
Many players struggle significantly with the opening boss, spending hours and dozens of attempts to achieve victory. However, mastering the game's new mechanics makes a massive difference in how the fight plays out. Utilizing specific offensive techniques to break the opponent's stance can turn a seemingly impossible battle into a quick win.
Step by step
- Adopt the new bloodbind and raven techniques early in the game.
- Target the first boss with these stance-breaking abilities every chance you see.
- Keep the pressure on to break down the opponent's guard.
Tips
- Use stance-breaking tech to make the boss fold quickly.
- Do not let initial struggles discourage you, as subsequent bosses may feel much more manageable once you adapt.
What players reported
The first boss took me 3 hours, I died nearly 80 times, and it was so incredibly difficult. An hour later, and I've finished the Courtesan boss off on my second try. I don't think she was especially easy, and some of the moves I got did help, but maybe she was just super easy and the first boss is normal and I'm bad? Dunno. Either way, bit of a shock to have beaten her this fast. Good boss tho…
