THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem.

now if you're looking to get the other ninja gaiden games you really don't have to get head or master ninja,

simply once you have ninja gaiden 1, goto to tairon's huge clock tower were you first encounter the black spider ninja and aim at the middle clock with you're bow and fire.

now a chest should appear and it will contain ninja gaiden 2.


Now to get the third one i forgot.

Nice, but what does the Parastyle passage look like?

It's a long wide hallway with a bunch of pillars on both sides. There are a bunch of those pink feinds that keep respawning there. It's also right before the boss of that level.

Alright thanks, that helped cuz I was just looking for it.
