Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance - The Mountain Arcade Mode [S Rank, Full Combo, No Damage]

"This is the mastery of a Shinobi."

Next S rank run on The Mountain this time. Not too hard here either, but the environmental hazards and platforming can be a point of concern to the unwary. The shield passive saved my bacon a good couple of times here when I fell prey to environmental hazards, preserving my combo and no damage state.

The bot mini-bosses can be dangerous if you allow them to attack, especially the one that fires homing missiles at you. Best bet is to use Bomb Ninpos to strip their armor, and then a couple of heavy attacks to deplete their otherwise small health bar.

The boss was a pushover as well, once again thanks to the Berserker amulet, however you have to cross your fingers for a good attack pattern and that he doesn't move to the top of the arena instead, where he will be out of your reach. If he electrifies the floor, next best thing you can do is spam kunai to whittle down the health bar and close the distance once it's safe again.
Forgot to execute as well, oops, but an S rank all the same.

Clocking in at 15m46s, the longest stage so far. There are longer ones still to come though.

I skipped over the Elite Squad encounters and getting all of the medals as they're not a strict requirement for S ranks in Arcade mode, although I'll definitely revisit in future and try for a "perfect" run of doing all Elites, all medals and full combo.
