Once you beat the first guard, you will pass through a doorway that locks behind you. From here on out, you will encounter closed doors that must be kicked in order to open. You will have to fight three more guards, using the strategy described above. Once you defeat the third and final guard, you will receive a large amount of health. Proceed to kick the door down and you will immediately be attacked by Akuma's hawk. This time, the hawk will not give up until you or it is defeated. You must successfully attack the hawk. The best way to do that is to stand just left of the center of the room so that you have enough time to judge the height of the hawk and time your attack properly. Remember that your attacks have a bit of a delay to them, and you must time them accordingly or you will miss the hawk and it will gain another chance to damage you. If you can hit the hawk five times, it goes down, leaving no one but Akuma between you and Mariko. Clearly you don't want to run into the next room because Akuma is waiting for you right on the other side. | Once you beat the first guard, you will pass through a doorway that locks behind you.

Your fight with Akuma clearly will be the longest and hardest fight in the whole game, but Akuma is susceptible to the same strategy described above. You need to modify it slightly because Akuma is quicker, and the time between his attacks is a lot shorter. So you must react to the start of his attacks sooner and edge closer to him as soon as it's safely possible. | Your fight with Akuma clearly will be the longest and hardest fight in the whole game, but Akuma is susceptible to the same strategy described above. You need to modify it slightly because Akuma is quicker, and the time between his attacks is a lot shorter. So you must react to the start of his attacks sooner and edge closer to him as soon as it's safely possible. However, Akuma has one problem that his other guards don't have: he's a bit more impatient. If you keep standing outside of his range, he will advance on you and open himself up for attack. Take advantage of this and give yourself a breather if you're taking a beating and need to gain some health back. Once Akuma goes down, you're almost done with the game. All you need to do now is rescue Mariko, but remember your place when you find her. | ||
{{Spoiler|You must approach Mariko with caution. She is a lady of royalty and has been through quite a lot lately. You | {{Spoiler|You must approach Mariko with caution. She is a lady of royalty and has been through quite a lot lately. You approach her in a fighting stance, or she will think you mean to attack, and she will quickly change your happy ending to a sad one as she kills you. If you stand up, she will hold her arms out for you to run into and rescue her. Congratulations!}} | ||
