Or if its the smaller baddies, I usually stick with the flails. Once you get the weapon swinging fast and can continuously pull off the Cremator, its almost like a shield and they can't sneak up and hit you from behind when your beating up on one of them.

I'm fighting the alternator and he keeps finishing me off with the rush move. This boss fight seems to be easier, but as soon as I get close I get with the rush and it takes off a lot...

They are found (if I remember correctly) in the crypts.

The Windmill Shuriken can be found outside of Han's Bar right after Rachel's stage. And no, Alma <> Rachel...although, they are sisters.

Hrm...Alternator is pretty much Dynamo (the fatso in the blimp) right?
Approach the fight the same way. Combo slices...block when he's about to hit and roll out of the way right after his attack is blocked...?

I'm not verygood at rolling, but looks ike I should master it anyway...after reading both of your advice posts, i'll prolly beat him on the first try tonight and kick myself in the ass...so what is this secret with Alma now? come on...share with the asian brother...

G'luck...!
The thing with Alma is that well, she's not dead. And yeah...you're gonna hafta deal with her again soon.
But, if it makes you feel better, her second time round shouldn't be too hard...unless the Sigma team decided to jack up her AI and difficulty.

I take it you haven't gotten up to her the second time yet? Isn't Sigma supposed to be way harder than black anyway? And as for her being alive...dammit...hahaha...at least there's better bosses along the way....helicopters FTW!

So i started playing this last night. Haven't yet made it through the first chapter b/c I had to wake up early today. It's ridiculously hard, having never played any of the Ninja Gaiden games before.
And I really need to start using different combos. I find myself using the same two or three which gets my ass handed to me pretty quickly

To me, it sounds like you're just button mashing. This game takes an element of thinking...If the enemy blocks your attack. Be ready to block right away and roll out; then retry your combo.

hahaha...bring it on gamers...this game has whupped everyone at least a few times...blackglass...i was using your tactic there and it was working...just time consuming... uuzman...yeah, this game I have noticed uses a lot of combo variations, but if you really sit down and learn the combos, they are each applicable to different groups of enemies..

...hence my theory that this game is a rite of manhood.
And oh yeah...if you die a few times, it's all good. There's not a single one of the experienced ones who haven't had their @$$es handed to them.
Also...a bit of luck is a good thing.
