Mark of the Ninja Walkthrough
Stealth gameplay is about to get another shot in the arm from Mark of the Ninja, and here on our full walkthrough page, we’ll help you become a Master Ninja. This 2D stealth action game puts you in the shoes of a loyal ninja with special powers to sense everything in his surroundings.
Instead of trial-and-error gameplay, this game is all about awareness, manipulation, and execution. Take out guards by sneaking up behind, draw them away with bodies or use firecrackers to get their attention before striking from the shadows. Become a hunter, vulnerable yet deadly, and use speed to defeat your enemies before they see what’s coming.

Ink and Dreams
Start off the game by following Ora. Follow her instructions to avoid the first two patrols of guards. Follow Ora to the Grappling Hook.
Shortly after getting the Grappling Hook, you have to use it to go up. The vent on the left will take you to the Voice of the Hisomu, one of the side scrolls you can get.
Take the vent on the right, and go past the guard patrol. Pick up the Sword of Tetsuji. Ora teaches you how to kill the guards. Continue onwards and you’ll be able to get Darts.
Take out the light, then run up and assassinate the guard. The next group of guards you’ll need to avoid by grappling over them and climbing up the side of the building.
Use the distractions–the gongs and lights, to distract the guards. Avoid confrontation and try to go around them when you can.
When you get to a room where Ora tells you to move up to the door to feel behind it, there is a scroll in the room. Climb above the building and climb through the vents to drop down on the guard when he is turned away.
You need to rescue four ninjas in the next part. To rescue the first ninja, hit the gong with a dart in front of the door, then grapple to the ledge above the door. Wait for the guard to come out and drop down and assassinate him when he walks out.
The second ninja is rescued when you crawl the vents to the right, then wait for the guard to turn around before you kill him. COntinue up into the vents to get to the next ninja. Go all the way to the left, then use darts to shoot the ninja down and wait for the guard to turn around to kill him.
Go back to the right. Kill the first guard from the floor vent by shooting down the light. Go all the way around to the right to come up behind the second guard. Then, return to the room on the left where you rescued the third ninja to go above the building.
Keep going on to the right until you get to the room where they’re holding the master. Use darts to shoot the light down on to them, then drop down and quickly dispatch the terrorized guard.
Breaching the Perimeter
Start the level by following Ora’s directions and disabling the lasers by shooting the power boxes with darts. Do this for the first room, then the second. In the third room you come to, peek through the door, then open and hide in the vase until the laser passes. When you get the chance, hold right on the left analog stick and move into the next piece of cover. Grapple up to the ceiling.
In the third room where Ora tells about how guards (or their bodies) disable the security system, wait for the guard, then drop down on him, and drag his body through the security laser. Go down the vent.
Drop down below through the vents. Wait for the guard to turn around, then walk into the room and go into the floor vent. Disable the security system and then kill the guard when he has his back turned.
Once you get outside, grapple to the second light directly above the guard, then drop down and kill him. Move the body to the left, out of the light. Stealthily continue to the right. There’s a guard above on the catwalk, and another on the bottom. Kill the one on the bottom first but hide in the crate. Then grapple to the position above, and wait for the second catwalk guard to pass before jumping up and killing the one who only looks to the left. Then jump up and kill the second guard. The last guard is the easiest. Just hide in the cover, then wait for him to turn his back.
Head into the vent and drop down to disable the power supply. Move into the floor vent.
Drop down through the vent system and use the noisemaker to get the guard to turn around. After you dispatch him, continue to the right and follow the directions to disable the power for the dangling cords.
Move into one of the doorways and stay hidden. Throw a noisemaker to the right to get him to turn around, then kill him. If you go to the ceiling vent there’s a challenge area, or, you can continue onwards.
Move to the right and avoid the first lasers. Hide in the doorway, then hold right on the left analog stick and press B to transfer to the other doorway really quickly. Throw a noisecracker at the guards to get them to turn to the right. Kill the guard first on the lower level then the other on the upper level. Go up the ceiling vent and disable the power supply. Go up the ceiling vent.
Dispatch the first guard below you by waiting for him to walk into the room. Then drop down and kill him. The next guard is even easier, just go into the floor vents below him, then jump up and kill him when he’s above you. Go to the right and hide in the room. Use the noisemaker to distract the guard, then kill him. Go to the roof above the room and dispatch the three guards there. Keep heading to the right.
Kill the first two guards by hiding in the pots and waiting for them to pass by. The second guard you need to distract with a noisemaker.
In the next room, a guard is patrolling outside of the door. You’ll need to wait for him by hiding in the pot.
Go up the ceiling vent. Kill the first guard, then distract the second. A third will come from the left so hide the two bodies and grapple to the ceiling and wait for him to pass to kill him.
Go all the way to the left and go up the ceiling vent. Where it splits off, go to the left, then come into the room with the two guards and throw a noisemaker to the right. Dispatch both, then go to the right and climb up the side of the building.
Kill the first guard after the second turns around. Then stash the body in the floor vent. Jump to the ceiling or hide behind the pot for the second guard. Hide his body too. Move to the next room but you need to kill the guard above you first. Grapple up, then jump up to come up behind the guard on the second level. Kill him, then drop down and kill the other guard.
If you drag one of the guard’s body’s the left, then kill the guard behind the door. Throw his body off the roof, then climb up the side of the building to go into a vent. It’ll take you back to the same room, but go up the ceiling vent.
The Trail of Shadow
Lower yourself from the first grapple position and jump to the right, then drop down below. For the two guards, there’s a couple different ways to kill them but I climbed along the ceiling and got behind the second guard while the first was turned, then went back to kill the other.
After the two guards, you can climb along the left wall to get to an artifact.
Go back down to the next room. Either distract and kill the dog first, or climb along the ceiling to kill the guard then the dog.
Keep moving, kill the lone guard and hide his body and move on. Jump down and kill the guard when he turns around, then distract and kill the dog.
Hide the two bodies. Then climb up the side of the next room to go above it. You can then drop down through the vent and get the two guards or go the long way around to the right. There are two guards on top of the building. Kill the first when he’s turned away and out of the light, then head up and to the left to go to the next area.
Once you get into the building, kill the first guard. The second level is optional because if you do go through the doors, a laser will kill you. But if it’s worth getting the artifact then go for it. Go up to the third level.
There is a guard all the way on top of the building. Kill him first, then go back to the right. Distract the flare guard, kill him, and move below. There are two guards below.
GO into the floor vent to go to the challenge room, or go back and climb to the ceiling. Kill the first guard, then go to the left to kill the guard in the room. Continue on to meet up with Ora.
Drop all the way to the bottom to get the artifact, then go to the right through the vents. There are two guards, then head through the vents to the right to get another artifact. If you keep following the vents you’ll come up behind the flare guard. Then kill the two guards to the left, and then head back to the room above the flare guard. There are three guards above it. Drop through the vent once the guards are killed.
Spider dangle down, then shoot the electric circuit to turn off the lasers and head right. Wait for the guard to pass, then drop down behind the dog and kill it quickly. There are two guards to the right.
Drop down, retrieve the smoke bomb and then climb up the wall on the right to the vent. Use the smoke bombs next to the lasers to get past them.
Start following the target. Avoid being seen. Follow him from above, then when you get to the second building jump to the ground, climb to the roof, then go into the vent, using the smoke bomb to get past the lasers.
Go back into the floor vents and head to the right, watch the target from the floor vent to make sure the guards leave before you get out of the vent. Leave it, then head to the right. Drop down, then run past the laser when it points to the other side of the room. Climb up to the ceiling to watch the target from the floor vent again.
Wait for the target to pass and the dog to turn its back to grapple to the ceiling. Wait for the target to pass, then drop down and go down the vent behind the guard. Drop down to the laser system and drop below it to disable the security. Then go back to the ceiling above the sleeping guard to go inside the vent.
Go to the floor vent on the far left. Use a smoke bomb to get past the laser, kill the guard, then run to the flower pot when the laser has turned. Go into the next room and kill the first guard quickly. The other guard will notice and run over. Hide in the doorway and kill him when he’s run over. Turn off the lights and grapple to the ceiling.
Drop down and kill the hound. Unlock the door on the left and pull the lever to climb into the vent for the next part.
For the next room, jump into the middle, and hold LT. Switch to your darts and take out both circuit boxes to take out the lasers. Then head down the floor vent.
Where the vent splits off, go to the right. Dangle all the way down till you can hit the switch then go back to the forth and drop down on the target from the left. You know what to do next.
Once the alarm is sounded, run to the right and drop down through the floor vent. Climb down the elevator shaft. Go into the vent and shoot the first light out, then the second. Drop down and kill the guard and dog, then press the button for the elevator. Climb back up the elevator shaft.
Wait for the lasers to pass, then run to the first pot. Wait for them to swing to the side before you move and get across the room. Get into the shaft and dangle down to throw darts at the two lasers. Drop down and again and grapple to the second platform.
Drop down to the third platform and jump to the right to leave the shaft. Wait for the guards to pass, then drop down and kill the guard with the dog. Then jump up and get the guard above before coming back around getting the last guard from the other side. Meet Ora at the very end of the level.
A Change in Course
Head to the left. Follow Ora through the vent and get the spike mine. Throw the spike mine when the guard passes, making sure he doesn’t hear it. Then go left and drop down to the pot you can hide behind. Shoot the birds nest and kill the guard when he comes.
Move into the room. Move past the sound detector the same way as the lasers. Wait for them to point elsewhere before moving out of cover to the next piece of cover. Grapple up to avoid being detected and keep moving left down the stairs.
Wait for the motion sensor to pass, then grapple to above the guards. Climb the ceiling and take out the two electrical circuits to drop down on the remaining guard and dog. Go into the vent in the wall to the left. Climb up the elevator shaft to the second vent.
Drop down on the first guard and hide his body next to the artifact. Then wait for the second guard to turn around before coming for him too. Press B to turn on the electrical generator.
Climb up the elevator shaft. Go left and avoid the laser. Run under the second one and shoot the circuit from below before heading left and outside. There is an artifact all the way at the left. Go back to the building and climb up the outside of it to climb in through the vent. Open the door when the laser isn’t on you. Get to the first cover, and move to the second one when the vertical laser moves at you from the left. Wait for the lasers to pass before going down the floor vent.
Get the artifact then drop down into the room. Go into the room to the left when the lasers pass and shoot the circuit with a dart. Open the gas vents and move back to the right for the elevator shaft.
Go to the first vent on the right. Hang above the guard and kill him when he turns to the left, then grapple back to the ceiling. Go into the vent.

An Ancestral Home
Start the level by going through the vent and the guard. Go back and kill him if you choose. Continue to the right, but wait for a flash of lightning before you open the door to the next room. Hide behind the box, wait for a flash, then jump above him and shoot out the light to drop down on the guard.
Go up and kill the third guard, then go into the building through the vent above.
Pull the middle lever, the other two will kill you.
Crawl up the side vent and dispatch the first guard after a flash of lightning. Leave the vent and wait in the first cover before the guard turns to the right. Keep going all the way to the right so you can turn off the power and sneak up on the next guards.
After you get the second group of guards, grapple above the third group of guards. Crawl on the ceiling to drop behind the guard on the right standing still, then grapple to above the active guard to drop behind him. You might lure him with the first dead body if he turns around.

Head to the right, unlock the door and go into the floor vent before the guard turns around. Wait for him to walk above you. Go down and get the artifact and turn off the power. Then go back up and time the lasers. Run between them and disable them before they reactivate.
Go into the vent. If you go up, you need to throw a smoke bomb at the guard and dog before you go on, but if you go right you can come up behind the guard and the dog.
Head up. If you go the left there is a scroll. Stay out of the spotlight and use the pots as cover to get close to the guard. Then go down the vent into the room to collect the scroll. Keep going right, when you get to a space on your map that keeps going down, there is another scroll. Drop to the very bottom and push the box in front of the lasers to go past them.
Keep going right. When you get to the point where there is a box, push it underneath the ledge and jump on top of it to keep going up. There is one guard above you, just grapple to behind him.
If you look on your map there is tall room beneath you, just drop down into it to get the artifact, then grapple back up and out. Keep heading to the right.

Do the dirty deed.
A Shattered Stronghold
Start off by running to the right, above the building with the artifact. If you go down below first you can retrieve an artifact. When you get to the first guard, run past the car which will explode and come up behind him.
Get past the guards by running quickly through the sandstorm, avoiding the booby traps. When you get to the floor spikes, jump above the two guards and pull the box to the left.
Drop below and take out the two guards to continue. Then move back to the vent and talk to the prisoner. Continue to the right. I took the upper route. Go all the way to the right and climb behind the shield guard.
Leave the building and jump onto the next building. There should be a guard here but use the sand storm as cover. Keep going right and take out guards as needed, using the sand storm as cover. When you get back inside the building, use the first pot as cover.
Take out the guard and use the body as bait. The other guard will come running over so take him out too. Climb up to retrieve the tattoo needles. Stand at the gear and move the box up, triggering the chains as you climb up the wall and use the box as cover.
If you drop all the way back down, there is an artifact in the basement. There is one guard waiting, then a shield guard inside the room. Otherwise, move into the sand storm and continue right.

Keep jumping above the guards, as you will eventually find yourself at another building. Enter, then go up. Teleport past the guard on the ledge, then keep heading right. Eventually you will need to go up because there is an elite guard below.
Drop down and kill the guard behind the door. Go down the floor vent and climb along the ceiling. Drop down in front of the elite guard into the floor vent.
Kill the first guard, then drop down the vent. Hit the gong so the guard comes out, then drop down on him. Keep heading in.

Go back to the main room. Turn the gears so that the lights face the faces opposite of them. This will move the suit’s arms and you can get the lever.
Some of the advanced guards will enter the room. Before you run away, I suggest poisoning one of them with your darts. Then go right, up above the room, and come down on the left to go the way you came in.
