I am completely stuck on chapter 4, is there any other place to save the game apart from the statue you appear next to at the levels beginning?

Additionally, anyone have any hints with this level?

Merci beaucoup.

Wall attacks and blocking is the best way to conquer this level.

Pay attention to Ayane's messages: you need to find Han's bar. First, you need to open the door to Pleasure street. When you're facing Muramasa's shop, go through the big door on your right. Just before the open area, go to your left. You will be attacked by annoying black spider ninjas. Once they're dead, find a place where you can triangle jump to the rooftop. Follow the path on the roofs until you find a switch. Use it to unlock the door and jump down. Go through the door under the switch and follow the path to Han's bar. There's a save point beside it.

Y'a pas de quoi.

Hey many thanks mate. I was so stuck, seems quite obvious now.

By the way what do you mean by pay attention to Ayanes messages? Who's Ayane? You?

Aurevoir. Je suis crevee.

Ayane is the female ninja who shows up when she pleases to give Ryu very pertinent info. (at least in this case). You will know her when you see her. She looks like a ninja.

Every now and then she attaches a message to a knife that she throws right in front of you.
