However, the game suffers from several glitched achievements which can be quite frustrating if you're a completionist aiming for the 1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg. Based upon the difficulty of the achievements, I would rate it 3/10. But because of the glitched achievements that will require your attention, I rated it 4/10. So be sure to start with step 1 first before playing the game! Step #1: Prepare First of all, you have to know there are a bunch of glitched achievements. These glitched achievements are (reported so far): Animal Friend, Stop! Futo Time!, Completist, Tengu Friend and Sightseeing. The problem on those achievements is, if you replay any level before having completed the game, the counter oddly seems to be resetting to zero, erasing all your previously hard earned data! Once this happens, the situation is irreversible! Therefor, the glitched achievements also become the missable ones There are two ways to avoid ending up frustrated + having to restart a whole new playthrough. Either you collect everything you have to collect before moving to the next level, or replay the levels where you missed something after you've beaten the game. With the story completed, it is possible to return to a certain level, collect what you've missed, and quit out after you've saved at the a checkpoint. But whatever you do... => NEVER EVER REPLAY A LEVEL BEFORE YOU'VE COMPLETED THE STORY!!! <= Every time you're about to move to the next level in the game, always ask yourself these questions: - did I use Futo at least once in combat? - did I collect every Jizo Statue? - did I rescue every caged animal? - was I supposed to visit a temple in this level? - was I supposed to come across Tengu along the way having a quest for me? Again, if you missed anything, it's OK. Take a note what you've missed and on which level, as long as you DO NOT replay the level over again. Move on with the story as you'll be able to go back after the game has been completed. Last but not least, perhaps you want to use additional guides next to this one. There is a fully detailed and complete walkthrough made by Tohyachan which you can find here. In regards to the Completist achievement, ErmacVersion1 has written a detailed guide for all the locations of the 100 Jizo Statues which you can find here. If you'd also like videos on getting the Jizo Statues, then you'll want to go here. If you also would like a guide to locate the caged animals in order to unlock the Animal Friend achievement, mrsantos has created one that you can find here. Step #2: Play through the story on Hard difficulty Now that you're ready to start, in the main menu set difficulty setting first to 'Hard' which isn't hard at all! Some achievements can only be unlocked on a specific level, other achievements must be built up as soon as you start playing, and then again other achievements can only be unlocked as from a certain level or after. There are some achievements that can be unlocked at any time throughout the game (eg. Tree Hugger, Boardom, See My Dust, ...), but in the list below I'll show the earliest level to get the achievement on. Also refer to the guide for further information. Throughout the game / on EACH level : Keep track of the missable ones! (see list in step 1) Achievements to go for after beating the game: Silent Assas... Nina / Smooth Sailing / Now You See Me... Level 1 "Ninja Mountain"....... : Found Futo / Off You Go / No Conjurer of Cheap Tricks Level 2 "Leaving Home"......... : Bear With Me / Found Suzume / Boardom / Pied Piper / Tree Hugger Level 3 "Earth Castle"......... : Big Guy Level 4 "Boss Lumbering Fool".. : Off The Richter Scale Level 5 "Great River Canyon"... : Silent Assas... Ninja / Smooth Sailing / Now You See Me... Level 6 "A Distress Signal".... : Found Shun / Bow Before Me Level 7 "Haunted Forest"....... : Don't Blame it on the Sunshine Level 8 "Night Castle"......... : -----NOTHING----- Level 9 "Boss Windy Pants"..... : Smell You Later Level 10 "Grassy Hills"........ : Found Tora / Eat My Dust Level 11 "Flooded Valley"...... : -----NOTHING----- Level 12 "Water Castle"........ : -----NOTHING----- Level 13 "Boss Timid Swimmer".. : Tripped and Fell Level 14 "Winter Range"........ : Tengu Friend / Botanist / Found Kunoichi / Lost and Found / Poker Level 15 "Snow Castle"......... : Sage of Philosophy Level 16 "Boss Screeching Owl". : Crash Landing Level 17 "Snowy Canyon"........ : Avalanche Level 18 "Volcano's Shadow".... : Sightseeing Level 19 "The Big Jump"........ : -----NOTHING----- Level 20 "Final Approach"...... : -----NOTHING----- Level 21 "Living Castle"....... : Completist / Animal Friend / Stop!

Trikke Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Step #3: Mop Up Now would be a good time to finish off the remaining achievements. First, if you happen to have missed any collectable-like achievement, replay the level where you missed something until you get what you missed earlier, get to a checkpoint, and quit out. Then go to any other level where you're still missing things. It hasn't been confirmed, but if you did miss for example Jizo Statues on levels 7, 10 and 17, I think it would be safe to start with the lowest level and not level 10 first, then 17 to finish on level 7. There's a chance it might mess up as well... Perhaps you're also missing the achievements in regards to use X times a specific attack. Refer to the guide on how to unlock them. Conclusion: Overall, this game is pretty easy to get 1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg on, as long as you don't get caught into a glitched situation. Following this roadmap and paying attention to some particular achievements, should avoid these frustrations and limit your playthrough to just one and a few level replays. If you messed up somehow, there is only one thing left to do: commit Harakiri!! Seriously, you will have to delete your saved game, clear your hard disk's cache, and start a whole new playthrough! (unless you don't care about unlocking the achievements).

Those are the ninja that seem to be missing from the village (if you have read the notes on the doors) and will become part of your team once you find them. All of them (except Futo) must be rescued from the samurai. As soon as you've found the last one (Kunoichi), this achievement will be one less to go for. Below a list of who and where to find: - Futo (Level 1) - Suzume (Level 2) - Shun (Level 6) - Tora (Level 10) - Kunoichi (Level 14) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/+sLmwg==.jpgOff The Richter Scale30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat Boss Lumbering Fool Will unlock on Level 4 Story related and cannot be missed. As soon as you get control of Hiro, run into a corner and stay there. The boss will swing his sword which will get stuck into the closest red pillar. Now jump on top of his sword, what will start a button sequence. Be sure to hit/mash the according button when prompted and everything will be just fine. Repeat 2 more times and he'll be defeated, unlocking the achievement. If you're running low on health, you can eat a few sushi at any time or drink a healing potion. 1st button sequence: - tap - - - 2nd button sequence: - tap - - tap - - 3rd button sequence: - tap - - tap - - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOEhIrAqaCc]YouTube- |Mini Ninjas-Boss Fight| First boss "Lumbering Fool"[/ame] Thanks to TrexiZ for this youtube video http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/+yIeUQ==.jpgSmell You Later30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat Boss Windy Pants Will unlock on Level 9 Story related and cannot be missed. Another easy boss to defeat, if you know what to do. His attacks are... well, his attacks are farts! This boss doesn't move at all. So, when he throws a fart cloud at you, run up to the boss. You'll activate the 1st button sequence. Push the right buttons when prompted, and he'll lose some health. Now there will be a few series of smaller fart clouds. Simply jump over them, until you get a new fart cloud coming towards you. Again, run up to the boss to start the 2nd button sequence. When he has lost some health again, there will be new series of small fart clouds. Again, jump over them. After these series of small fart clouds, he'll have 4 charged fart attacks (faster than the small ones). Again, jump over those as well, until he sends a new fart cloud towards you. Run up the boss again to start the 3rd and final button sequence. 1st button sequence: - tap - - tap - 2nd button sequence: - tap - - tap - 3rd button sequence: - tap - - tap - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M3L5yd_d3A]YouTube- |Mini Ninjas-Boss Fight| Second Boss "Windy Pants"[/ame] Thanks for TrexiZ for this youtube video http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/+JzzkA==.jpgTripped and fell30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat Boss Timid Swimmer Will unlock on Level 13 Story related and cannot be missed. Alright, this boss fight isn't difficult either. Like with the previous boss battles, hit the right button when prompted and you should be fine. In this area, you will notice three red pillars: a small one on your left, a large one in front of you at the back, and a medium sized one to your right. Go straigth ahead and go up the stairs. Hide behind the large pillar in the back. Once the boss cuts the red pillar, the 1st button sequence will start. Now, go back up the stairs and go right towards the medium sized red pillar. Again, the boss will cut the top of it, starting the 2nd button sequence. Now time for the last red pillar. Again, go back up the stairs and this time go left to hide behind the small red pillar. Once the top gets cut off, the 3rd button sequence will start. 1st button sequence: - tap - - - - - 2nd button sequence: - tap - - - tap - - - 3rd button sequence: - tap - - - - - - - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D8QTXzcM34]YouTube- |Mini Ninjas-Boss Fight| Third Boss "Timid Swimmer"[/ame] Thanks to TrexiZ for this youtube video Edited February 23, 2010 by Trikke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little game of 'hide and seek'. This boss will fly around the building. When the fight actually starts, you'll get a tip by pressing . It says to sneak up the boss. So... that's what we'll do. But be careful though, as his claw attacks may deal a great amount of damage! Stay on the bottom ledge to start with. You will notice that the snow is higher on some places. Go there and hide by pressing . When the boss lands, sneak up to the boss by holding . This will trigger the first button sequence. Same as with previous boss battles, press the according button when prompted. Now, go up one ledge and apply same strategy as before, meaning hide in the snow and sneak-attack. This will trigger the 2nd button sequence. In the last part, the boss will be on the roof top. The only thing to do here, is run to the top of the roof to activate the 3rd and last button sequence. 1st button sequence: - tap - - 3nd button sequence: - tap - - 3rd button sequence: - tap - - tap - - - - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQhO5Adgp1w]YouTube- |Mini Ninjas-Boss Fight| Fourth Boss "Screeching owl"[/ame] Thanks to TrexiZ for this youtube video http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/+10Ctg==.jpgRestore Balance40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat the Evil Samurai Warlord Will unlock on Level 22 Story related and cannot be missed. He's the toughest of all bosses, but you are tougher! No button sequence this time... Kuji Magic is the key! First, you will want to equip all the 'Storm'-like spells that you can access by pressing while in combat. Be sure to have enough Flasks of Strong Ginseng, and enough Healing Potions or anything else that can restore your health (sushi, honeycomb, ...) This boss his health is also his defence. The balls spinning around him, are his shield. Destroying those balls, will lower his health as well! General tips: - Keep an eye on your health at all times! - Kill the minions as soon as possible, as they'll only get in your way - When you see the purple-black magic coming to you, swing your sword to send it back to him (as with the mages in the game, remember?). This will stun him for a while. - Beware when he's lifted, as he will have special attacks. His lightning attacks can hurt you badly! - When he's lifted, sprint by holding across the edges of the map to avoid being hit by his special attacks for most of the time The way I did it: I only used Meteor Storm to attack the spinning balls. Immediately I recharged my Ki energy by selecting the Flask of Strong Ginseng from my inventory by pressing . If I had a new opportunity, I used the Meteor Storm immediately again, otherwise I was killing the minions. Once he was lifted, I ran around the map holding (got hit a few times though, but immediately drank a healing potion). As soon as he was back on the ground in the middle, I ran up to him and used the Meteor Storm again. Keep repeating this strategy a few times, and his spinning balls should be destroyed after 3-4 Meteor Storm attacks.

A locations list can be found here. Before going to the next level, you can check if you've found and freed all animals. In case you've missed some, don't worry and move on with the story. Certainly DO NOT replay the level! Just take a note of which level you've missed some, and return after having beaten the game. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/-x8R3A==.jpgTree Hugger10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Shake 15 trees Build up throughout the game - Will unlock on Level 2 or later Once you get close to a tree with fruit (fruit can be used to heal), you'll be prompted to tap . Do this to shake the tree and fruit to fall off the tree. Repeat this with 14 other trees (may NOT be the same tree) and achievement pops. Bushes do not count towards the achievement. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/-T4YaQ==.jpgSage of Philosophy50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Reach level cap Build up throughout the game - Will unlock on Level 15 or later Each time you kill an enemy or free a caged animal, you'll get XP which are represented by yellow orbs. Each time you pick one up, you'll see the circle closing around the Mini Ninjas logo located on the bottom left of your screen. Once the circle is fully closed, you will level up. So, kill as many enemies as possible, free as many caged animals as possible, and you will unlock the achievement once you've leveled up 15 times. The circle around the Mini Ninja logo will become red when fully leveled up. Edited February 24, 2010 by Trikke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are several places you could get this achievement, level 17 "Snowy Canyon" and 19 "The Big Jump" are the easiest levels to get this acheivement on. Jump on your hat by clicking and start sleighing down the hill and try to hit anything (eg. light post) along the way. When you're prompted to press , DON'T! Here's a video to help: PS: the guy from the video says he's showing you "Snowy Canyon", but it is NOT. In fact, the video he's showing, is "The Big Jump") [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoEgBiLTOYc]YouTube- Mini Ninjas - Avalanche Achievement[/ame] Thanks to Airstander for making this youtube video http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPp4FU4=.jpgSmooth Sailing10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Flawless Great River Canyon rafting Only on Level 5 - Best done after completing the game! Basically it comes to this: don't take any damage to your hat/boat in the rapids! On the top right of your screen, you'll see your hat's status. Be sure to 'brake' by pushing the towards you to reduce the chance to take any damage. A little before the first part of the rapids, there should be a checkpoint. If you take any damage, reload last checkpoint and try again. Between the first and second part of the rapids, there will be another checkpoint (you have to climb a little to get there). Again, if you take any damage, reload last checkpoint. Takes a little practice, but isn't difficult at all! The video in Silent Assas...

If you happen to forget to use Futo on a level, take a note of which level. Certainly DO NOT replay the level. Once you've beaten the game, you can replay previous levels. NOTE: If you're not sure which level(s) you could have missed, then simply replay each level over again from the beginning, kill at least one enemy as Futo, and then save your game at a checkpoint, quit out and then move on to the next level. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UP-a-rc=.jpgEat My Dust10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Travel far in full gallop Will unlock on Level 10 or later As soon as you've rescued Tora, you can use his special attacks by pressing and holding . You can select Tora by holding and pointing the to the left. Now start running and hold until the Ki energy is fully consumed. One unstable Ki energy (red dot on right of the screen) will be consumed as well. Repeat 9 more times and the achievement should be yours. If you're getting low on unstable Ki energy, drink a Flask of unstable energy. If you don't have one, you can make one by mixing a Burdock Flower with a Wild Parsley (which can be found on Level 10, the same level where you've rescued Tora), and if you have the recipe of course! Here's also a small video on how to unlock this achievement: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlpM7bp3sfY]YouTube- Mini Ninjas - Eat my Dust Achievement[/ame] Thanks to Airstander for making this youtube video http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UP46BiQ=.jpgPied Piper10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Incite 50 enemies to dance Will unlock on Level 2 or later On Level 3 "Earth Castle", when you enter the castle's courtyard, the entrance will count as a checkpoint. Press and point to the right to choose Suzume. Don't bother freeing animals, picking up herbals, or whatsoever yet! You'll understand why in a second. Go left and immediately turn right around the corner. There will be one mini samurai guarding the bridge, and a bit ahead you'll see a group of 4 mini samurai and 1 medium sized one. Run up to them and start playing your flute by holding . You will have between 4-6 samurai dancing. Once they're all dancing, quit playing flute, let yourself get killed (you will respawn at the entrance of the courtyard) and repeat these steps until the achievement unlocks. Now you can go free the animals if you like, although it's better to wait until you've unlocked the Big Guy achievement. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UP0dEio=.jpgPoker10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat 30 spearmen with the spear Will unlock on Level 14 or later In this level you'll get the possibility to control Kunoichi for the first time after having rescued her. Simply hold and select Kunoichi by pointing the to the upper left. Kunoichi's weapon is a spear. Amongst the enemies, you may already have noticed mini samurai using a spear. Kill 30 of them using Kunoichi's spear attack (hit ) and there you have it ... achievement unlocked! A good level to get this achievement on, is level 18. When you come to the area with the frozen waterfall on your left (where also 2 fast samurai are), you should have just passed a checkpoint. The left path leads towards the temple (which is the last temple for the Sightseeing achievement by the way), and on your right another path going downhill, with 5 spearmen and a large samurai. Kill the 5 spearmen using Kunoichi, and let yourself get killed by the large samurai. You will respawn at the checkpoint right before the frozen waterfall. Rinse and repeat until you've got the achievement. Also on level 18, after being ambushed, you'll eventually come across a checkpoint (after getting Jizo Statue 7/8). Follow the path until you come to the gate. In front of the gate are 8 spearmen... http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPz96rk=.jpgDon't Blame it on the Sunshine10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Bring sunshine to all denizens of the graveyard Only on Level 7 Story related and cannot be missed. Once the ghosts appear in the graveyard, take the stairs to your right. You will find a gazebo where you can find an Anemone flower. The shrine is behind it (use your Detect Kuji Shrine spell if you're not sure). You will get the Sunrays spell, that you will need to kill ALL the ghosts on the way to the Night Castle. Once you've killed the last remaining ghost, the achievements pops. If you're getting low on Ki energy, either backtrack and don't touch the controller for a minute or two (Hiro will start meditating which will restore your Ki faster), or use a Flask of strong ginseng.

You can only get this using Hiro. Every time you cast a scroll spell by pressing , whether it is 'Detect Kuji shrine', 'Spirit form' or 'Fireball', you will be consuming Ki energy (which is represented by the blue line on the bottom left of your screen). One spell uses more energy than the other. As soon as you've consumed 1500 Ki, you'll get the achievement which will be way before the end of the game. I got it on the level 2, but you can get it as from level 1 in theory. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UP1iDs0=.jpgNow You See Me ...40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat 100 enemies with stealth attack Build up throughout the game - Will unlock on Level 5 or later - Best done after completing the story! During the training session you will learn to perform a stealth attack by hiding in high grass and pressing to sneak upon enemies from behind and press what will result in insta-kills. Do this 100 times and you've earned the achievement. There seems to be a good spot on level 5 to get this achievement on, as you will see in this youtube video. NOTE: if you want to use the strategy as shown in this video, it is best done after you've completed the game, and in case you didn't get the achievement by normally playing the game. The reason for this is that you need the Camouflage spell, which you will get at the shrine accessable between the rapids. And once passed the rapids, you can't go back to the beginning of the level. DO NOT attempt to get this achievement by replaying this level before you've completed the game! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZciPxUV1G2w]YouTube- Mini Ninjas : Now You See Me..

The best way to defeat him, is to get rid of the mini and medium sized samurai so you won't have any enemy running in your way. Next, kick this big guy twice with and normally there should be a big appear above his head. Press when prompted! Now, either immediately start the same attack, or sprint away from him while pressing as he will probably swing his club. Repeat two more times and the achievement is yours. One hit from his club = almost instant death, and you'll find yourself back at the entrance of the courtyard! Later in the game, the RED large samurai will take 5 hits (1 hit = double combo followed by ) to get them down. The BLUE ones take only 3 hits. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPkgHac=.jpgBoardom10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Defeat 10 enemies as the boar Will unlock on Level 2 or later On this level you will have the ability to 'possess' the boar using the Spirit Form scroll. To do this, hold and point towards the according scroll. Once selected, you should see ghost-alike icon on the bottom right of your screen. Press to cast the spell and run up to the Boar to take control of this animal.

Ninja50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Complete a level without being seen Easiest on Level 5 - Best done after completing the story! Simply complete any level without being spotted by a single enemy. The easiest place to do this, is Level 5 "Great River Canyon". Follow the same path as shown in the video and you should have the achievement on your first try! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_XUavMN8bc]YouTube- MINI NINJAS | Silent Assass... Ninja Achievement / Trophy | HD[/ame] Thanks to AstuteClass for making this youtube video http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPmK3XQ=.jpgBotanist30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Collect one of each ingredient Build up throughout the game - Will unlock on Level 14 (or later) if done correctly This achievement should come naturally, but can be missed if you don't care about collecting flowers nor herbs. There are a total of 12 different kind of herbs/flowers/mushrooms to be found throughout the game, and can be used as an ingredient to mix yourself healing and other potions, if you have the recipe of course (buy these recipes from the different Tengu you come across in the game). Below you'll find the name of each one of them, as well as the earliest level to find them on. There are a lot of them throughout the game, so don't panic if you can't find one right away. You actually don't need to have them all in your inventory. Once you've found a missing herb/flower, it will be highlightened in your inventory. Having all 12 highlightened will suffice to unlock the achievement. Level 2 : Blue Petal / Oyster Mushroom / Ginseng Root / Anemone / Spear of Ashida Level 3 : Tiger Lilly / Stone Cap / Burdock Flower Level 6 : Sacred Lotus / Horse Tails Level 10 : Wild Parsley Level 14 : Mountain Fire http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPhqJec=.jpgCompletist100 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Collect all Jizo statues Build up throughout the game - Will unlock on Level 21 if done correctly Missable & glitched achievement This is a collectable achievement. There are in total 100 Jizo Statues to be found in the game. There is an excellent guide done by ErmacVersion1 which can be found here. In case you'd rather prefer visuals, the youtube videos can be found here. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPpLLFI=.jpgTengu Friend40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Complete all Wandering Tengu quests Build up throuhout the game - Will unlock on Level 14 if done correctly Missable & glitched achievement There are 5 Tengu that will need your help, activating a mini-quest. Here's where to find them and what to do for them. 1) Level 2 "Leaving Home" In the village where the burning bridge is, Tengu will ask you to kill al 13 samuari on the across the river. Kill them all and a message that you've completed Tengu's task should appear on your screen. Go back to Tengu and get your reward. 2) Level 2 "Leaving Home" Right after you've opened the bamboo door to access a new area, you will find Tengu and he will ask you to get him a Burdock Flower. You can find one near the temple if you turn right. 3) Level 7 "Haunted Forest" You can find Tengu in the woods left from the main path where you start, and he will ask you to get him a Spear of Ashida. It is possible you have a spare one from a previous level. If not, you can find one not so far from where Tengu is. A little right from Tengu is a path, which will bring you to higher ground. Go up there, there should be 3 fruit trees (one of them with a bee hive). Go passed the trees, and there you'll find one. 4) Level 11 "Flooded Valley" You can find Tengu in the beginning of the level and wants you to go check if his uncle is still OK after the area has been flooded. His uncle is located on the far right of the map, only accessible using your hat as a boat. The temple where his uncle is located, is also one of the temples you need for the Sightseeing achievement. Go back to the first Tengu and you will be rewarded with a Sturdy fishing rod which you can use to have the Koi drag you to the 2nd part of the flooded area. 5) Level 14 "Winter Range" You can find Tengu after the first split in the beginning of the level. All he wants is a Tiger Lilly to make bombs. You should have more than enough of them, so give him one. WARNING! (thanks to NeoRizer for this information) a) If you miss any of the Tengu or can't fulfill their request on your first run through any level the game will glitch and you will never be able to get the achievement. Make sure if you start a level with a Tengu that you NEVER quit out, you MUST finish the level AND complete the Tengu quest in the same run. b) If you replay any mission with a Tengu quest to go back and do something else you missed, (Example: Jizo Statues, Grinding out bow/spear/etc... kills) the game will glitch and will permanently wipe your Tengu quests to 0/5. Re-doing the Tengu quest will not count either as replaying the mission has already glitched your save. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/979/UPur1ME=.jpgSightseeing30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg Visit all temples Build up throuhout the game - Will unlock on Level 18 if done correctly Missable & glitched achievement There are a total of 6 temples that you must visit. Here's where you can find them: 1) Level 2 "Leaving Home" Once you see the Tengu who wants the Burdock Flower, go up the stairs on your right 2) Level 6 "A Distress Signal" When you enter the area surrounded by water, right after having rescued Shun, you'll find the temple up the hill on the far right of the map 3) Level 10 "Grassy Hills" When you get to the 2nd burning tree (the 1st is across the bridge), the path will split. Take right and a little bit further you'll find the temple on your right up the stairs. 4) Level 11 "Flooded Valley" From the beginning of the level, head to the far right of the map. Can only be accessed using your hat as a boat. At this temple you'll find an uncle of Tengu, which is part of the Tengu Friend achievement. 5) Level 14 "Winter Range" As soon as you've rescued Kunoichi, you'll find the temple entrance right around the corner, on the left when you face the very long bridge and opposite of the checkpoint. 6) Level 18 "Volcano's Shadow" The temple entrance is to the right of the frozen waterfall.

padraiglovesyou Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 ok so I missed one of the tengu quests. you're saying I'll never be able to get it now? :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trikke Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) ok so I missed one of the tengu quests. you're saying I'll never be able to get it now? :X That is what has been reported by NeoRizer in his post . This is one of those glitchy achievements you want to be careful with. It's also the reason why I put in the road map to ask the question "did I do the tengu quest on this level" before moving to the next, to help you all avoid this pain and frustrations. I don't know which level you are actually playing, but my best guess would be (if you're already far in the game) to continue and finish the story WITHOUT level replay. Once you've finished the game and watched the credits, there might be a chance your Tengu Quest counter to be at 4/5. Try replaying the level where you've missed the Tengu Quest and hope that replaying the level AND doing the Tengu quest will count as 5/5 and unlock the achievement. Otherwise, you'll have to delete saved game, clear cache, and start a new playthrough on casual and speed run only doing the tengu quests for that particular achievement. At this time, there is still no patch available. I hope all will be fine after all and you won't have to replay a full playthrough over again. Good luck EDIT: according to another gamer's post (found here), his achievement unlocked by just replaying the level where he missed the tengu quest. So, if he's correct, you might be lucky!!

Grummy Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Anybody else have any problems wth 'Smooth Smailing' not unlocking? I've done it perfectly a few times now and it just won't unlock. n/m I just had to restart my Xbox and do it again, unlocked fine. Did it all the way through without stopping halfway to get the other checkpoint too, not sure if that made a difference.
