Why is dat wooden sword so overpowering

[@Ch35h1r3C47]

It's the insanely expensve level 7 upgrade of the previously useless wooden sword. When at low health it glows red and gains some nonsense damage multiplier

[@tplayer23424]

who is the the hardest boss you have beaten?

[@thornghoul1486]

I will never forget spending hours grinding to upgrade that wooden sword all the way to find out it became this op weapon.

[@artistshinobi1651]

Exactly

[@ravensayana2870]

Because the combo of the heavy weapon is semilar to wooden sword but the wooden is more light..

[@CPT881]

I never knew the wooden sword would get such an upgrade. I was at chapter 17 with all other weapons fully upgraded, and a lot of essence left, so I decided to upgrade the sword and cursed the game for not showing me this erlier

Played again after many years. And people think Dark Souls is the hardest game. The first few bosses give you cheap shots and you can get help from spirits. Ninja Gaiden Black gives you nothing but pain and suffering.

DarkEndDragon_- This game is demonstrably harder than the soul games because of Rank alone. If you want to get a perfect rank in every chapter of this game. Or even one rank below, good luck.

[@SpencerFcp]

Honestly, neither game is hard once you get past the learning curve. Having played every Souls games, even new installments aren't that difficult as I'm already aware of how the games work. Ninja Gaiden is pretty much the same. Difficult until you get used to it and understand how to play. I'd say they are both equally difficult in different ways.

@Win From Within agreed, Alma doesnt have a combo. She will hit you and you have no idea what she is gonna do next, she might do the same thing or start throwing the columns at you. It is literally impossible to predict her next move you just gotta be fast and be prepared

True

I remember getting my ass kicked by pretty much every single boss, but the first Alma, holy shit, that was on another level of suffering. It took me like a month to beat the entire game.

There's something magical about watching a version of this game where bosses don't just auto block 90% of your attacks and counter before you can block/evade. I love NGB so much.

[@SaltymanGaming]

Yeah.. Sigma 2 bosses actually seem fine. They actually feels a bit too easy now, they at least had some punishable attacks before they sometimes refused to use them. The Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 bosses and enemies are pretty broken though. I had some fights where things like Alma and Gamov are just completely impossible to hit. A real shame they included inferior versions in the collections.

All these maneuvers render you virtually invincible until the animation is complete. It's very beatable even on Master Ninja once you know which of these moves to use in any given situation.

You are amazing at this game. But... your final fight vs murai was absolutely terrible. You taught me some new tricks against other bosses though. Subbed

Headphones z you think so? I feel like he had room to mess up. He just took whatever chance he had to strike because he had so many talismans. He knew he was goin to win so he didn’t care if it was sloppy.

This dude is complete and utter ass. I've seen no damage runs on this game. Clearly you can fuck up a lot and still win. This guy won a lot of fights by the skin of his teeth.

@@jamesrussell9124 ‘complete and utter ass?’ Wow, lol. Thousands of comments I’ve seen act as if it’s rare to even so much as get through this game. He did. What am I missing here?

I remember crying like a little bitch when I couldn't defeat Alma on her first appearance.... But then again I was a dumb 12 year old back then. Ninja Gaiden was the first game that gave me an ass whooping! It's still one of my favorites

Even the Megaten franchise has harder games than Dark Souls.
