When you land, | [[File:Ninja Gaiden NES Stage 6-2c.png|left]] After jumping up above the ladder and over to the right, attack the enemy guarding the larger platform and jump over. When you land, tread slowly, as there are many enemies that will attack you in sequence. A bat will approach first from the right, followed by a football player from the left, then a bird from below, and then another bat from the right. The first two enemies--football player and bat--can be handled at the same time. Slash the bat and leap over the football player. The bird is trickier, and must be lured to the right side in order to bring it into a vulnerable position where you can duck and slash it. Do not retreat backwards, as this will respawn the enemies that you've already dealt with. | ||

Approach slowly, allowing the enemy to scroll itself off the back of the platform. Before you leap over to his position, approach the edge and duck under the eagle that will attack from the upper right. As soon as it passes overhead, leap to the next platform, and attempt to slash the football player that will leap at you while you're in mid-air. If you're unable to hit him, and he hits you instead, this is usually okay. There's a platform to fall onto that will hopefully prevent your instant demise. From here, move quickly to the ladder, as the bird you ducked earlier may be trying to double back. | ||

The last four candles all contain different ninja techniques; the outer two both contain the Flame technique, while the inner two contain a Throwing Star and a Windmill Star. Arm yourself with whichever you prefer, although the Flame technique will probably be the most helpful. | The last four candles all contain different ninja techniques; the outer two both contain the Flame technique, while the inner two contain a Throwing Star and a Windmill Star.

Once you go through this door you will have to face the final bosses. If you lose to any of them, you will be returned all the way to 6-1, regardless of how many lives you have left. Fortunately, you will receive a health refill before facing each boss, but consider this a one time courtesy; you will receive no such refill should you fail and need to try again. On the plus side, each defeated boss will stay dead. For example, should you defeat the Masked Devil, you will not have to face him again once you make it back to this stage. | |||
