Advice for getting better at mentor?

Hello fellow Ninjas. I recently decided to get back into (or try to) ninja gaiden. I played 4 and had an itch to get back to the glory days (although 4 is really fun) after finishing sigma I’m on to my favorite entry in the series. Now I have no way to play the OG anymore (no Xbox or pc) so I’ve settled on Black because ligma 2 is balls. And honestly this game is so good. I’ve had a blast playing through warrior to get a feel of th changes and remind myself of placements. And honestly? It’s so much better than sigma 2. Feels a lot like how I remember the OV if that makes sense? But also feels more in line with NGSigma.

ANYWAY fluff out of the way.

I’m looking to go through on mentor now, (I’d like to attempt master eventually or should I skip right to that?) I’ve made it to chapter 3 on mentor, it’s been tough. But very fun. Warrior was getting so easy I wanted more of a challenge but my lord mentor is so much harder than I remember or I lost a lot of skill. Maybe both. So I ask other veterans and master ninjas, what is the best method for getting used to the higher challenge? I’m going mad beating my head against the same encounter over and over, but going back to warrior doesn’t feel like it’s preparing me correctly for mentor+

Should I try chapter challenge? Or should I just keep trying th same encounters? Currently stuck on the big area of chapter 3 with dogs and IS ninjas etc. like the second big open area.

Any tips or routes are appreciated! I’m having so much fun with this game again. And I got about half way through mentor (hard) on sigma 1 it was so methodical and fun. But I adore 2 so much I wanted to move ahead.

Thanks! And happy spider clan hunting!

It’s really hard to follow new Star Wars specific PS5 mod releases. I know eventually we (hopefully) will get them all, but for now as we wait for some of the bigger mods and such maybe a main thread we could keep an eye for them to drop?

Hello everyone, so I’ve been trying to get this mod to work on PS5. I havnt tested it from a new playthrough. But I was using a different POI mod most of my playthrough and it worked fine. When variations was released I deleted the mod and installed variations. But after some playing/testing I realized it wasn’t actually working, I messed with load order, re installed, deleted mods I thought could be conflicting. Nothing seemed to work.

So I’m just curious if anyone on PS5 using this mod can report how/if it’s working for them?

Curious if POI variations conflicts with wulfys Encounters and factions expanded, some background on why I ask.

I recently started using POI variations instead of POI cooldown. Yet I honestly am not sure if it’s working? It seems every POI has the sam loot boxes in the same locations and the same pre placed corpses, just a different enemy, and different loot inside the chests.

Then I installed encounters and put it high in my load order. Well the game started crashing quite a bit, so I moved encounters to the bottom of the order. Now I never really see POIs from encounters. And still thy all seem the same.

Can anyone using either of these specifically variations tell me if I’m missing anything? Any tips to get these to work together? And is it the two together making neither of them work?

Thanks in advance! I’m on PlayStation 5.

I’m sure it’s a licensing thing (maybe?) since I don’t see any mods adding the legendary “alien” xenomorph.

So my request is that, maybe something that adds a special fauna to barren moons occasionally? The xenomorph. Or maybe something like the xenomorph if not that directly.

Thoughts? I don’t know much about modding, so be gentle with the “that’s impossible stupid” comments lmao.
