From the start of this level, walk to northwest ignoring the Ki meter. Do not worry if the enemy detects you, just keep running until reaching Garan's house. After that, kill Garan and you will have some great Ninja Items with Apprentice Rank.

You can, however, walk on the steel plates of the ship. There are eighteen enemies. There is no one on the huge tower in the center. After eliminating them all, you must fight Gohda's guard Jubei, the samurai from Samurai Shodown. Then, suicide by Keppuku in the FMV sequence.

Hint: Shark in last level:
During the last level, go to the ship where you fight the first Boss.

Swim around on this side of the ship for awhile. Somewhere nearby a shark should appear in the water. The shark can hurt you, and will put the enemies on alert as if he was a normal enemy.

Hint: Kill the cat:
Play as Tatsumaru and go to the Labor Shortage level. Cross the bridge and jump on the building next to the old woman and the cat. Normally, it is almost impossible to kill the cat, because it has 34,000 life. Equip yourself at inventory screen with blow darts, poison rice balls, and flaming arrows. Go to the area where the cat is found and get on the roof. Eliminate the old woman first, so she will not be in your way and get you caught. Get on the roof and throw some rice balls at the cat. Let it eat at least three of them, then shoot at least two burning arrows at it. After that, shoot three darts at it. It should now be stunned. Push it in the water and it will float, dead.

Glitch: Automatic stealth kill:
You do not need to pull out your weapons to perform a stealth kill. Run to the enemy and press Attack. Your weapons will instantaneously be drawn out, and you will perform the stealth kill.

Glitch: High jump:
If you are in certain levels (Quarantine Village, Laborers), you do not need a grappling hook to get on to the roof of a house. Run up to the wall, face it, and jump. Your character will jump twice the normal height of the usual jump and land on top of the roof without hanging on the side.

Glitch: Swim in air:
Edit a new map using a tileset which has water with a depth of at least -2. Put water with a depth of -2 or deeper at any boundary of the map and then test it. Wall-strafe along the boundary into the water. You will enter swim mode without falling into the water. Your character will be treading in air when you are above the water, and swimming in air when you go above land. This works anywhere that has deep water, a ground adjacent to the water and at water level, and a wall that runs alongside the water and ground.

Glitch: Keep Tatsumaru's sword out:
There are two ways to do this trick. The first is to take Tatsumaru to a ledge high enough to cause the falling animation. Then, stand close to the ledge, turned so it is on Tatsumaru's left. Then, hold Left and press Attack. If done correctly, he should pull his sword out to slash left, then fall off the ledge before he can sheath it again. The second way is to do the "bump" stealth kill with Tatsumaru. If done correctly, you will smash your opponent in the back of the neck. On any level accept Labor Shortage, there is a glitch and Tatsumaru will have his sword out. Note: To re-sheath Tatsumaru's sword, just do a sword move or another stealth kill of any kind.

Glitch: Floating arrows:
Hide behind a box after a enemy that shoots arrows sees you. Duck before he fires and it should hit the box. Immediately break the box. If done correctly, the arrow will float in mid-air.

Glitch: Kill shark:
Play as Rikimaru at the Secret Harbor (recommended) or Sea Battle level. Equip yourself with fire arrows and blow darts. Go to the southern-most part of the area to find a large lake. Swim around to attract a shark swimming in it . Draw it closer to the shore. If done correctly, it will be unable to swim back into the deep water. During that time, shoot it a couple times with a dart. Do not worry of it does not show its life. Shoot it once or twice with a flaming arrow. Unlike the cat, instead of the shark freezing up when it dies, the game will freeze.
