Hint: Quick training mode and grand master:
As soon as you have control of your character, jumpover the block and go to the closest corner. Hold R1 +L1 to hide and look at the first man. When he is facingin the opposite direction of your character, run and kill him.Save stars when you do not need to use them. Quickly switch tothe hook and aim (with Triangle) at the edge of the firstcliff. Quietly do the same thing at the right corner edge of thesecond cliff. Now, holding on to the edge, scoot as far to theright as you can (you may be able to see through the wall). Makesure to know when to kill the second man. The third man is tricky.Move to the corner at the end Inside the hallway so you cannotbe seen. Use L1 to look (while holding R1) at thisman's route. Squat down and jump into where he is located; behindhim and quickly kill him. Quietly climb using hook to corner.Look around when the man is closest and turn around kill him.Squat to the edge about a half-foot away from it -- just as longas you can see the man below. When he turns from the light, jumpdown and kill him. Immediately go back and (you may have to climbback up) so as not to be seen. If you are, just wait until themeter is blue. Sneak behind the archer and kill him. Run to theshadowy part of the first big step, jump up, hang on the secondone, and wait till the last man has turned away. Quickly jumpup, kill him, and run into the "river room" to receivepraise.

Hint: Grandmaster on level 1 (Punish TheEvil Merchant):
Immediately when you start, use the rope to grappleto the roof directly in front of you. Then, run all the way, notexactly to the main gate, but near it so that there is a houseto your left. Jump (or grapple) the house, then run along it tothe next house. There should be a hole in the wall. Go in it.If there is a person there, he should be sleeping. Kill him, andif there is a cat, ignore it. Note: This was only done this whenthere was no one in this room. Jump down the hole in the floor.This should take you in to the room where Echigoya is located.Kill his bodyguard quickly, and keep him away from the door leadingout. Make sure no one outside hears you. This is possible to do.The innocent in the room does not count as being "spotted."When he is dead, use the rope to get back up the hole that youused to come down. Go back outside and run along the rooftopsuntil you reach the "town area". If you have done thislevel before, you should know what house he is in. Go on top ofthe house directly across the door leading into Echigoya's hidingplace. This next part is difficult, but possible. There shouldbe a person standing in the intersection to the right of you anda dog walking around to your left. When both of them are not looking,do a front flip towards the door. If you do not land in it, runinto it as soon as possible. Kill Echigoya as fast as you can.A few triple-hit combos should do it. Once you hit him last, youhave completed the level. If done correctly, you should have 410points (400 for never being spotted and 5 each for killing Echigoya'sbodyguard and Echigoya himself).

Hint: Grandmaster on level 2 (Deliver theSecret Message):
Note: this trick requires two items, the chameleonscroll from level 8 and the lightfoot scroll from level 1. Youwill need two of each of them. At the item selection screen, choosetwo of each of the aforementioned items, then begin game play.Get as close to the main road as you can without being seen. Useone of your chameleon scrolls. Move into the center of the roadand face the direction you need to go (probably to your left).Be careful, because dogs can see past the chameleon spell. Activatethe lightfoot scroll, and when its power ends, keep running untilyou reach the cart. Even though your chameleon scroll has notworn off yet, use your other one. Then use your other lightfootscroll. This should take you to the middle of the bridge at theend of the level. Keep running to the end, and you will have gottenGrandmaster with 400 points, all of them for not being seen. Note:A variant of this strategy will also work with level 7 (Destroythe Foreign Pirate).

Hint: Grandmaster on level 3:
Start out in the forest, then turn left until you reacha forest wall. Find the cave and kill the man inside. Killingsilently is preferred, as you need to get 400 points and aboveto get the scroll. There should be a health potion located here.Continue and kill all the men you meet on the way. If you encounterwolves, wait for them to run toward you. When they reach the rangeof your sword, slice them. After passing all the caves you shouldreach the last cave. Be careful here, as most of the enemies aretricky. Using caution, kill all the men, silently if possible,and watch out for the pitfalls. You will reach a bridge that ismade of rock. Take care, as the bridge is the most dangerous location.When you reach the middle of the bridge, you should see two doors.Jump to the one on the right. Be very careful -- if you miss youare history. The best way to jump over is to double flip. Youwill now be in the Boss area. There are three men in this area.One is in the lane you are going to walk to. One of the othertwo is guarding a health potion. Kill him and get the potion.Find a lane that has two candles together. Go up a short distanceand attract the bear. Kill the bear by chopping him three timesand back flip when he is trying to attack. After the bear is dead,approach and kill the main Boss. Watch his attacks. Evade thefirst attack -- it is deadly. If you get hit, go down, use thehealth potion, then repeat the same technique of killing the bear.If you are lucky, you should get the scroll. It will increaseyour power and strength.

Hint: Grandmaster on level 9 (Reclaim theCastle):
At the start of the level, turn to the right and ropeup to the top of the wall. Turn left and run the length of thewall, heading towards the castle. Watch out for the guard on thebridge to your left. Kill him/her (depending on the layout) ifyou like, but be absolutely certain that you are not seen. Fromthe wall, rope up to the outside of the tower. There should bethree levels. The first two will be no problem to scale with therope. To get to the top level, you will need to back up as faras possible on the level below it, and then rope straight up.You may need to turn yourself a bit to make the rope stick, butwith a little practice this should be no problem. Once on thetop level, you can fight Onikage. You will end up with 405 points(400 for not being seen + 5 for defeating Onikage), which is enoughfor Grandmaster. Your prize is the dog bone,which summons an attackdog.

Hint: Quicker way to the summit on level8:
There is a quicker way to get to the summit on level8 (Cure the Princess). As you are about to enter the second cave(that leads to the summit), stop at the mouth on that ledge. Turntowards the cliff face on your right (so that the mouth of thecave is to your left). Back up as far as you can without fallingoff the ledge. Activate your ninja rope and aim it as far up thecliff in front of you as possible and release it. If you are successful,this will take you up right next to the summit, making you movejust a little bit to complete the level.

Hint: Using the chameleon spells:
Pick the chameleon spell at the inventory screen. Sincethe game will only increase these extra items when they are belowthree, select the spell at least three times. An effective wayto reach grandmaster ranking is to have 99 chameleon spells andto use them every time someone is killed to avoid being detected.

Hint: Decapitating enemies:
Use a chameleon spell and walk directly up to the target.Jump in front of the target and slash him with the death blow(Square). Most of the time, this will result in a decapitation.

To perform the deception, you must sneak up on your opponent andpress Forward(2), Square.

Hint: Debug mode weapons:
The following is a list of the weapons that can beobtained in debug mode. Note: The American version retains Japanesenames for the weapons.

Glitch: Missing legs:
Enter the water, go into debug mode, and reset to thebeginning of the level. Your legs will be missing. To get yourlegs back, go in the water again and go out as usual, or blowyourself up.

Glitch: Frozen enemies:
Enable the "Debug mode" code and go to "File".Then, go to "Load Layout" and "Card". A messagestating that an error occurred will appear. Ignore it and keepplaying. All of your enemies will be frozen and will not attackor move. However, you will not be able to finish the level orfight main enemies (the people that you fight at the end or startof each level).
