Ninja Gaiden (NES)/Act 3

Stage 3-1
This stage is short and easy compared to the rest of the game. Just keep moving right and you'll reach the end in no time. Be sure to get the hourglass in the middle of the stage if you are having problems.

Stage 3-2
The windmill throwing star is very useful here, especially against the falcons and commandos. If you don't have it, attack the falcons first to avoid taking damage later on. When you reach the cliff ath the end, jump over (do not kill) the cougar behind you, wait for the warrior to walk towards the edge of the screen then jump. Many players have died many times here because they were rushing things.

Stage 3-3
The boss of Act III is Basaquer, who leaps from one side of the room to the other. Randomly, but not in a row, he'll throw three daggers right before leaping. Crouch next to him on one side and attack him when he lands. The daggers he throws can be destroyed by a crouching attack or a windmill throwing star but it may take timing to destroy the ones launched on the side you're on.
