First time Tenchu player here but Im quickly falling in love w it. Put simply, no other game makes you feel this cool while doing ninja shit. Excellent guide, this will help me tremendously. It does seem like the game is a little weighted in Agilitys favor.
Been playing the game 16 years, great game. Once you unlock feet 3 , so your footsteps are completely silent, and badger 3....you're the ultimate killing machine. Fast and silent.
this game is so much fun ever when you finally unlocked all the abilities and skills! best tenchu game ever after the previous ones! everything bout this game is sick,the atmosphere,the darkness,the environment,the big ancient japan houses,the amazing soundtrack that boosts up focus,the quick time reaction to deals with targets,the speed skills you increased to move faster! the Ninja oufit (SHOZOKO) you unlocked as you beating on missions and shit,this game is my type never like loud games like call of duty or any kind where no stealth is required,i'm good at stealth game like tenchu and MGS i could beat a mission without get spotted over three or one times! sometimes for the AI make it challenging sometimes! i had to buy and Xbox 360 slim 4gb for the 1st time because of this wish it was on ps3! but fuck it!
One thing I like about tenchu z is because you get to upgrade your character abilities the way you want for their skills. I hope the new tenchu game will allow you to upgrade abilities like this. Something I learn from watching this and it's at 11:12 I didn't know you can do that way as well then beside using the grappling hook to the ceiling. Thank you.
For now, there isn't any announcement of a new tenchu game yet but who knows because all o us doesn't know which developers will take on making the new tenchu game.
How to do Gale, (Works better if aiming into a enemy with RT,) 1. Get close to a enemy. 2. Hold RT. 3. Press X (Attack once then hold X) 4. Release X, If hits on a Enemy once, Press X once more, and one more, and one more..
Repel works for close battle too, not just shurikens, it leaves your opponent exposed and gives you time to attack them or run away from them, but maybe thats just for Repel in level 1, personally I prefer shadow but repel works just fine too
I kind of expected Ears 3 to be pretty broken, aside from the radial improvement, I also expected it to allow you to hear stationary enemies by their breathing or heartbeat.
Fun fact, Badger was actually first used by Ayame in Tenchu Fatal Shadows where the localization name was "Cheetah Sprint" versus the Japanese name of Mujina Hashiri which translates roughly to "Badger Run". The Izuna Drop used is actually more accurate to the first version as well as many Izuna drops now have a spin added when the very first one from the Ninpu Kamui Gaiden manga in 1969. I wish I could still play this game but it was literally the only game I played on my 360 for a long time as not many came out that I liked..one day I realized i hadn't even played THIS game in over a year..so I sold my 360 to my little bro after that.
Edit: Yeah it's me again, got something to add about Shock after looking around and finding the Japanese name, it's not blue flames but purple electricity that they are hit by, hence the name 'Shock' in Japanese it's called "Shiden" which is the ultimate move that Rikimaru can learn in Tenchu 3 which calls down the bolt of lighting after he stabs the target. Gale is called Urahayate and that's the ultimate move that Ayame can learn in Tenchu 3..I'm pretty sure Drop is a reference to Tatsumaru who was playable in the Versus mode of Tenchu 3 and had the izuna Drop, so each of the three ultimate hold X techniques are references to the main 3 ninja of the Azuma clan even though Ayame is MIA and Tatsumaru is dead.
Secrets I must study: Shadow (LT + X) *MOVEMENT* Drop (Press & hold X) *DEFENCE* Badger (Push both RB + L stick) *MOVEMENT* Voice (RB + LT + X) *LURE* Wall (Jump toward wall and press RB) Ceiling (RB when touching ceiling) Conceal (LT+X when clinging to a wall)
as a player that finished tenchu 3 wrath f heaven and tenchu fatal shadows all these skills are mere copies of actual existing skills in previous games I saw and used those skills in techu fatal shadows but sadly the gam doesn't support spider nest stealth kill nor does it let you to hold into the ceiling for too long, still nice video! the funny thing was in techu fatal shadows when Ayame uses the invisible wall the guys can't see you even if they walk side ways! however for a weird reason invisible way is not invisible for female ninjas! they see through it very easily
Just bought a used xbox arcade just to play this goddamn gem! Also, what a surprise at the end, been looking for that explanation all over the place. Because kept seeing 'special' in mission rating and wasnt sure what it was. Also when watching gameplay prior to playing the game, i thought red seals meant the enemy could break the chokehold 😂
@acidglow - yes repel is basically pointless.... BUT it is perfect for the final boss fight. With repel, and drop, the final boss is a breeze. Every time he shoots out of that crazy weapon you return his fire back on him at twice the damage
Perfect vídeo,i'm from Brazil searching vídeos for tenchu z I'm not found in portuguese,but your vídeo is Very easy to understand...thanks to you. P.s: Sorry my inglish pls
The one where you could cling to a ceiling and drop down for assassinations was amazing. It's sad tenchu production ended and tenchu z isn't backwards compatible
I felt like some of the skills lacked the tuning and review that comes with typical iteration. Between that and the lack of flavor that came with the story, say, Wrath of the Heaven, I think Z ended up getting pushed out the door either due to deadlines or lack of funds. Even so I still think it ended up a solid title.
Conceal was the most hilarious and awesome skill I’ve seen when I first got it, it was so unbelievable that there was literally an invisibility cloak, when from what I remember, a ninja trope (that may be based on an actual ninja tool, I don’t really know) they just used sheets that resemble textures of whatever they’re hiding on. Trees, walls, etc.
Check out Gaijin Goomba's Which Ninja series to learn more about actual ninja techniques used by famous game and anime ninja. He talks about this one iirc among others like the Tanukigakure which for this game would be the Cling to Ceiling move.
Edit: Just remembered, he talks about it in the Kirby video where he talks about the Ninja Kirby ability and how King DeDeDe used the whole cloak thing you talked about in the screen for a minigame.
Hey Acid thanks for the great video. You really got me back into the game. I remember playing a few rounds with you online and was wondering if you still play. I would love to play with another player online.
Can someone plz help me and tell me how to set abilities got the eyes level 1 but cant set it to use it says push rb and right stick but dont work help plz
bear8256 would recommend going back to the training level, there's (4?) NPC's before you have to crawl through to one more. Stealth the closest, at which point I just mashed x while pushing the left stick in the next NPC's direction. Hope it helps if you're still looking for the answer!
When there are two guards talking, WAIT for them to stop talking and turn their backs on eachother, then roll down on one of them from a roof and mash the X button and both will be gotten.
I can't get any of these skills to work. Drop, gale, or shockwave. None of them do anything. I've tried for multiple hours, nothing happens. And yes, everytime I have tried my skills are allocated in the correct stat. Doesn't matter, because all I do is a regular x attack, even after holding and releasing. It does absolutely nothing. I've practiced for hours and ended with the same result. Fucking nothing.
@@DynoSkrimisher According to scuttlebutt I've heard it did start out as a new Tenchu game but then they switched it up into something so different from the Tenchu series that they just made it into a new IP..which is sad for me as I REALLY wanna know what happened to Ayame after the last game..
Hey, the easiest way to use dragon drop is to press and hold down the action button that excutes it beforw moving in to your enemy, I usually run around holding down the buttton as soon as you run up to the guard realese and he'll drop him on his head , eazy
I've been poisoned once and it killed me. I think the white guys that looks like monks or ninjas (they attack with martial arts) can use poisonous darts if your far away from them
No idead why they switched to xbox and then the wii. Found an emulator yesterday and i knew it wouldnt just let you play as easy as that. Game started with intro and everything, pressed start and it crashed. Seriously wanting to buy a used xbox 360 for this.
If you get passed the crash, the game has very visible graphic issues. I really miss this game but I'm not able to buy a console for 1 game when I already did alot of videos on it. But it sure is good
Fondue Koala it's not bugged. It just works on certain walls at certain heights. You also need to have good timing to perform the move constantly. An easy way to do it is to make a short hop and immediately hold RB and then move or jump off.
You put too many adds on this video. Chill out a bit. lol Although it's a helpful tutorial. Sadly this game is pretty much obsolete. I still play it sometimes in solo mode, but it gets old because it's the same thing over and over. Unfortunately I never got to try co-op mode. It would be a lot of fun. Sometimes I spent more time changing my outfit than playing. I've mastered almost everything about this game when it comes to going undetected and racking high scores. I've even done consecutive stealth kills on 15 enemies at once (I don't think you discuss the various stealth kills in this video, but there are probably about 20 different types). However, the one move I never did yet was gale. The reason is because I use 'drop' for that skill, and I always went for stealth kills instead of combat kills, so I never tried it. But I'm going to try to see if I can do it now.... Ok so I just tried it and it's actually great for a quick stealth kill, but during combat it didn't kill everyone on the first hit. It just does damage and then they get back up. In this video, it looks like GALE kills everyone the first time you do it, but it's not the case. It's better to be equipped with 'DROP 3' instead because it's the best way to defeat any boss that you actually have to fight. You simply repeat the DROP move on them every time they get up. If you time that correctly, you will never lose to any main boss, even both final bosses.
Is there any IGN viewers here.....? plz remake or remastered this game for all gen xbox 360 xbox one ps3 ps4 and pc too i been searching this game for yrs but still i haven't get chance to play this game and i haven't found this game at all 😢😢😢😢 plz IGN make this happen.......
*Hope this helped. Leave a like* ✅🙂

It's refreshing to find someone knowledgeable on things in Tenchu Z.
good point
this game was so good. sad that they didnt bring updates or more maps :/
had so much potential. they should make a new one thats like this.
Looking back, it's one of the best games for the stealth genre
FYI, Stagger is performed by blocking at the correct moment with your sword SHEATHED, not DRAWN
The blue spark is actually your block being broken (:

Tenchu for PS4!!!!!!!!!!!! please like to rase awareness
slip9906, I’d also like Tenchu for PC. (Without having to emulate these games)
Guess we’re gonna have to hope for PS5 at this point...
this game is so much fun ever when you finally unlocked all the abilities and skills! best tenchu game ever after the previous ones! everything bout this game is sick,the atmosphere,the darkness,the environment,the big ancient japan houses,the amazing soundtrack that boosts up focus,the quick time reaction to deals with targets,the speed skills you increased to move faster! the Ninja oufit (SHOZOKO) you unlocked as you beating on missions and shit,this game is my type never like loud games like call of duty or any kind where no stealth is required,i'm good at stealth game like tenchu and MGS i could beat a mission without get spotted over three or one times! sometimes for the AI make it challenging sometimes! i had to buy and Xbox 360 slim 4gb for the 1st time because of this wish it was on ps3! but fuck it!
This game is so much better now bro, thank you.
To use the instant kill Shuriken at longer distances you just have to aim higher, accounting for gravity. I love all the Tenchu games.
badger 3 + Feet 3 + Lurk 3 = invincible.... no need for items anymore
Invincible for stealth, not much else
@@laurentiusmcmxcv agreed.
@@RawDawg903 only Feet 3 is OP there
Badger is hard to master, so there is that, and Lurk is good enough, not broken, just right
I know its been literally a decade, but this really helped me plan how I went through this game! So thank you! I had a great time!
Glad it helped. Its a fun game
this is a badass game I have it and tenchu 1&2 for ps1 and Xbox and xbox360
The Ninjas with the massive claw weapons are the only enemy that can poison you.
OMG thank you sooo much!!! always wanted to see what the other skills look like. Badger is still my fav!!
One thing I like about tenchu z is because you get to upgrade your character abilities the way you want for their skills. I hope the new tenchu game will allow you to upgrade abilities like this.
Something I learn from watching this and it's at 11:12 I didn't know you can do that way as well then beside using the grappling hook to the ceiling. Thank you.
Their making a new game?
For now, there isn't any announcement of a new tenchu game yet but who knows because all o us doesn't know which developers will take on making the new tenchu game.
Kristina McGill I don't have online because I wish not to pay for it.😕
You can repel bullets and arrows too not just Shuriken and attacks
How to do Gale, (Works better if aiming into a enemy with RT,)
1. Get close to a enemy.
2. Hold RT.
3. Press X (Attack once then hold X)
4. Release X, If hits on a Enemy once, Press X once more, and one more, and one more..

Holly shit back here after 11 years, how time flies
5:30 The only move i wasen't able to do in Tenchu Fatal Shadows(Ayame can learn this trick in TFshadows).
I kind of expected Ears 3 to be pretty broken, aside from the radial improvement, I also expected it to allow you to hear stationary enemies by their breathing or heartbeat.
love how most of these if not all, are from previous games
The enemies that can poison you are the Nobumitsu Ninja with claws.
Shigi 2nd round too

It will help me too when i'll buy a xbox again ! Thanks Acidglow !
cheers for the breakdown Acid, going to arrange my skills when I get on Tenchu Z later.
Thanks for posting this, it cleared up some confusuion i had while playing
I really miss this game, to bad they didn't make a sequel.
This has helped me a lot, thank you very much!

P.s: Sorry my inglish pls
Eae mano, tbm estou khkkk. Vim nesse vídeo para tentar descobrir como usar a habilidade Gale, é mt difícil acertar aquele timing
P1rocudos
Hi bro .. can you help me .. how i get the physical abilites points to incresse vitality and strength and agility ?
The one where you could cling to a ceiling and drop down for assassinations was amazing. It's sad tenchu production ended and tenchu z isn't backwards compatible
Yeah I was hoping they would make this game backwards compatible because I don't want to buy a 360 to play it.
Instead of tenchu, from software is giving us a new armored core. I'm excited, but i still need another tenchu.
thanks for the explanation. enjoyed the tenchu games from the ps to xbox and now 360.

Thank You. Just got this on my 360.
It's super late, but the best part of Badger 3 and Feet 3 is that they work together, so you can use Badger and be completely silent.
I wonder if it can be performed silently on shallow waters
amazing video, well explained, well detailed, great job man.

how do u preform the badger run after u buy it please somebody help me out
Can anybody explain the RIGHT way to do CSK (consecutive stealth kills) i cant seem to get it down, at all :( help a Ninja out!!!

i know this so old but how to do this moves i mean what i should press can any one help me ???
You should make a video showing where all the Tomikichi are.
Ppl have already done that. I wanted to do something different and more useful that nobody else did. =)
Can you post a video of you getting more than 4k points in Training? People don't believe me when I say you can get more than 3030.
Love the vid thanks for making it
thanks i couldn't figure alot of that stuff out
The claw ninjas will poison you if they land a hit in combat. Onloy happened to me once.
great guide. i cant get the drop ability to work for the life of me
Aye, i'm new to this game and I don't have anyone to play with. Do you think I could add you on x-box and we could play a couple?
I have that trouble too, no one seems to play it anymore

how can i get the feet skill?
Acid i cant use gale somhow
You need the correct stats to use it for example combat, agility
Stagger is used with your sword sheathed
So we're both aware ^^
perfect breakdown ....
This game is from the same developers that made Dark souls right? Cant wait for FromSoftware to make Tenchu for the PS4 :)
+superbn0va From Software only published this game.
They made Sekiro. Basically Tenchu but without character customisation

Nope but they did make sekiro whivh is essentially dark souls x tenchu
Thanks very helpful
i bought drop but how do i do it??
how to do this moves ?
thanks, it helped a lot!
that last one was epic
what mission do you get feet ability?
feet and lurk ability you get em when you get 1000 stealth kills
Anyone know how to use drop without swinging your sword first?
Hey, the easiest way to use dragon drop is to press and hold down the action button that excutes it beforw moving in to your enemy, I usually run around holding down the buttton as soon as you run up to the guard realese and he'll drop him on his head , eazy
Go into block stance =)
+AcidGlow I'm curious what's that other parry move when the enemy attacks you automatically in blocking stance moves the enemy behind you?
Gale is so hard
I've been poisoned once and it killed me. I think the white guys that looks like monks or ninjas (they attack with martial arts) can use poisonous darts if your far away from them
Yep
Learning how to do gale
i like to buy tenchu z in philippines but we dont have!!! :(
My sound is broken Ultimate stealth game play
thank u so much for vid

How can i get more than 100 in an ability?
After a few missions, you unlock increased stats. You can then apply the ability points in the menus in ninja village.
thank you so much
man i want 2 play it now
The Wall Run skill in this game is so bugged. Can't do it at all.
Fondue Koala it's not bugged. It just works on certain walls at certain heights. You also need to have good timing to perform the move constantly. An easy way to do it is to make a short hop and immediately hold RB and then move or jump off.
Also you can only run horizontally
EXCELLEEEEENT!!!
Tenchu a remake with ayame rikimaru tesshu and rin
I still play this game lol
I would too if it was backwards compatible on xbox one. It's really fun.
lol oh I see, forgot about the end my bad :)
