Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection’s Most Epic Fights

Share

With Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection dropping today with Xbox Game Pass, we wanted to look back at some of the most brutal, frenetic fight scenes in franchise history to help pump you up to dive back into this classic collection of games. As a follow-up to our Baddest Bosses in the Business Xbox Wire feature, we’re presenting the three best fights across the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. Time to make Ryu Hayabusa proud and start slicing up baddies like a boss!


Fight #1: Ninja Gaiden Sigma – Murai


Fight #1: Ninja Gaiden Sigma – Murai

At the end of the game Ryu battles a much faster version of Murai, a ruthless warrior who has also added some of Doku’s attacks to his arsenal. Cap it off with the fact that if this boss kills you, you actually have to start the entire final level from scratch, and this becomes a battle for the ages! Murai is the uncle of Ryu Hayabusa and former warlord in charge of the Shadow Ninja Clan. Grabbing the Dark Dragon Blade, Murai attempts to kill his nephew. Use a series of Flying Swallow attacks to ensure it is Murai who meets his fate, and not Ryu.


Fight #2: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 – Elizabet


Fight #2: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - Elizabet

One of Vazdah’s Four Greater Fiend Lords, Elizabet is also the Ruler of Crimson Blood and Queen. Fitting her Crimson Blood title, Elizabet actually shoots blood at our favorite ninja, and if the blood strikes Hayabusa, Elizabet will regain health points. Use the Eclipse Scythe to strike from mid-range while avoiding her blood-draining maneuvers. Defeat her to collect the Heart of Crimson Blood!


Fight #3: Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge – Goddess


Fight #3: Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge – Goddess

The final boss of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, Goddess is a deity created by the Lords of Alchemy. Made through a combination of biotech and magic, Goddess is an enormous creature being used as a weapon to destroy the old world while hoping to create a new one in its place. At the beginning of the fight, concentrate your attacks on the surrounding chimera. After clearing the enemies, Goddess will attempt to slay you with her sword and smash you with her giant arm. Slide under the sword attacks, dodge the arm smash, then quickly attack her arm to cause damage. Eventually, a quick time event plays out leading to the final sequence of the game. Can Ryu Hayabusa save the day (and the world)!?
