How To Get Every Weapon in Ninja Gaiden 4

One of the best parts about any **Ninja Gaiden** game is experimenting with all of the available weapons. Sure, Ryu’s Dragon Blade is one of the most iconic weapons in gaming, but let’s be honest—trying out every weapon and discovering the most broken builds and combos is how you truly become a Master Ninja.

## Every Weapon in Ninja Gaiden 4

In **Ninja Gaiden 4**, there are a total of **five weapons** to acquire and upgrade. You’ll start with the default weapon, gain three more as you progress through the campaign, and unlock the final weapon only after proving yourself worthy.

Each weapon comes with its own unique playstyle, encouraging you to develop different strategies and techniques. But how do you unlock every weapon in Ninja Gaiden 4? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.

## How To Upgrade Weapons in Ninja Gaiden 4

Obtaining a new weapon is just the beginning. As you move forward in the game, you’ll want to upgrade your weapons to unlock new and more powerful attacks.

Weapons are upgraded using a currency called **Weapon EXP**, which you earn by defeating enemies. As you spend Weapon EXP, you’ll unlock new skills and abilities for each weapon. Unlocking certain base attacks will open up even more powerful abilities known as **Bloodraven form attacks**.

### What Are Bloodraven Form Attacks?

Good question! You can activate Bloodraven attacks by holding the **Left Trigger**. These unleash your weapon’s most powerful moves, which have some incredible effects. Not only can Bloodraven attacks interrupt enemy power attacks, but they can also stagger foes, creating opportunities for extra damage.

This mechanic becomes especially important during boss fights. Knowing the right moment to use a Bloodraven attack to stagger a boss and land free hits is often key to victory—particularly on higher difficulty levels.

## Finding Your Perfect Weapon

Every weapon in Ninja Gaiden 4 has its own strengths and weaknesses. The key is to find one that suits your preferred playstyle and then master it. Experiment, upgrade, and combine attacks to create devastating combos that will elevate you to Master Ninja status.

Unlock, upgrade, and dominate with the weapons of Ninja Gaiden 4—and may your path to becoming the ultimate Master Ninja be swift and deadly!
