Shinobi: Art of Vengeance - ALL Ankou Rifts and Secret Final Boss

I finally 100% complete Shinobi Art of Vengeance on Saturday. All Ankou Rifts done, all secrets and relics found and secret final boss beaten. Some of the rifts were not too bad (Rift 8 I managed to just cheese my way through on my very first try), some of them were an absolute nightmare and took ages. I thought I was going to absolutely loathe the last one, but weirdly I sort of enjoyed it, the culmination of all you've learnt from the others into one mega rift was a cool idea (and thankfully some of the bits were a tiny smidge more forgiving than the previous rifts - no spiky bits to try and dash over in the climby uppy fire bit for example).

That final secret boss was an absolute nightmare to beat. His moves are quite well telegraphed, but even with the Dark Katana your hits do so little damage, and his do massive amounts to you and there are a few attacks that can be hard to avoid. I kept trying to go in and just wail on him, but the key to it is just got to stay out the way, let him come to you and slooooowly chip away at his life bar. I didn't pick up on who this character was initially as a throwback to a Shinobi 3 boss- I wasn't as familiar with him as an old skool Shinobi boss compared to some of the others from Revenge of Shinobi or the first Shinobi (like Mandara).

Anyhoo, I've got another video I'm going to release, which is a compilation of some of the optional hardest secret areas in the game you need to traverse in order to get all the relics and chests, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
