In his quest to become the Shadow Blade and as he seeks the teachings of the last remaining ninja master, Kuro will need to overcome various challenges. And here, he must pass through the hardest stages of his quest.
Hardcore 01
Orbs – 101
Show you aerial maneuvers and jump up and across walls. Be wary of every corner and walls as traps are laid everywhere. Use the jump pads, avoid traps and land safely. Collect the two symbols which aren’t hidden at all but skills are needed to obtain those. The first will require aerial skills to avoid landing of the bladed walls and the second needed timing and avoid the sword being shot by the trap.
Hardcore 02
Orbs - 97
Like the previous stage, you need to jump over obstacles but this stage focused more on dodging the flying sword being shot here and there. The two symbols can be easily spotted and the challenge for both symbols to obtain them is to time and dodge multiple flying swords being shot across the pathways.
Hardcore 03
Orbs – 59
In this stage, you need to find secretly placed orbs and symbols while threading across the air, jumping up the walls and avoiding hazards along the way. In the room next to the first checkpoint, the first symbol can be found which is in the bottom right of the room. The second symbol is above the room after the second checkpoint.
Hardcore 04
Orbs – 45
This stage is quite short but still dangerous. At the start, prepare to run across a long row of falling platforms, halfway, the first symbol can be seen above a moving platform. When getting to the end of the hall where multiple floating and moving platforms are found, there round be two passages on the left and right of the room which contain orbs as you jump up the platforms. The second symbol is on the passage to the right.
Hardcore 05
Orbs – 60
Don’t get electrocuted and get sliced by the rotating blades as you travers this stage. There would be a pair of gates closing way before the checkpoint, use the switches inside the small room before the gates. The symbols would be easy to spot in this one as both will be just in the way as you proceed through.
Hardcore 06
Orbs – 52
Electric traps would be waiting for you in every gap on the floor so don’t fall into the gaps. Use the jump pads across the stage to proceed. After the set of alternating electric traps and jump pads in the beginning, there would be a room with a jump pad in the middle and a gap in both sides of the jump pad. The left gap is where you will enter the room while the right gap is where the first symbol can be found. In the same room, there are two clusters of orbs on both sides. After getting out of the room using the jump pad, go to the left and jump up the wall to find the second symbol.
Hardcore 07
Orbs – 88
Don’t get cut by the rotating blades in this stage. As for the symbols, the first one can be spotted on the way while being guarded by flamethrower-equipped enemies. The second symbol can be found after passing through the hall with the rocket launcher-equipped enemies. Go straight to the right and there will be a room where the symbol is locked, there will be a switch at the end of the room to unlock it.
Hardcore 08
Orbs – 51
There are many blades that stabs back and forth. Be sure to time your jumps. As for the symbols, the first symbol can be found when you climb an upward tunnel filled with moving blades after the first three moving blades. The second symbol can be found in the hidden room right of where the exit door is found. There would be blades and rocket shooters there.
Hardcore 09
Orbs – 81
Another electrifying stage. Finding the first symbols is tricky as you needed to get to the tunnel below the moving platforms that you will see. Maneuver to the left of the platforms and go down to the tunnel. The second one can easily be seen as you climb up the wall before getting to the exit.
Hardcore 10
Orbs – 62
This stage is filled with mines so be careful. Clusters of orbs are hidden at many places like the tunnel above the first checkpoint. For the symbols, the first one can be near the start as you climb while the second one can be found on the room with floating platforms, follow the platforms up to find it.
Hardcore 11
Orbs – 61
Aside from mines, there would be lasers now. As for finding the symbols, the first can be found where you will see the first pair of lasers before the first checkpoint. The second one is at the very rightmost room in the stage before getting to the exit.
Hardcore 12
Orbs – 69
Orb clusters are present so be sure to collect them. The hardest thing in this stage would be climbing walls while dodging the lasers. The first symbol can be found on the way while the second can be found on the room behind the fourth checkpoint.
