In honor of our brand new Ninja Gaiden II page, Points>Life is tackling an achievement from Xbox 360's Summer mega-action release, Ninja Gaiden II. Having difficulties landing a 100-hit combo? That wonky camera got you down? Just want 20 random points? You've come to the right place!
Check out the video above for a few helpful tips and if you have any tricks of your own, make sure to leave them in the comments!

people who did this "legitimately" are going to hate you xav. but then again...isn't that kinda the point of "Points>Life"? LOL

Just because I don't like the game doesn't mean I don't know how to play it.
And yes, that isn't the point of this feature at all.

Level 6 is the way to go for me. Level three double katanas and a few quick ultimate techniques. Done.

I got it by using the gattling spear gun in ch9 where those fish keep respawning in that small body of water where you first meet the creatures with chainsaws. Didnt even realize how easy it was.

That's exactly where I got it too. I didn't realize there was a 100-combo achievement until I got it from shooting them fishies.

Kudos to Xav for the pronunciation. +1

Xav, he was already dead when you cut off his head, he was already dead, why did you have to over kill him, why, nooooooooooooo

There is a soon place you can do this. I got mine with the first archer in chapter 1. He is on bridge. All you have to do is keep jumping and throw your stars; he'll never touch you and you can get about 125 hit off.
Xav de Matos @ Jun 11th 2008 1:19AM
I tried that and he dies before I can get to 50-60
DBoyFlex @ Jun 14th 2008 12:54PM
Thats what I did too. Worked fine, I got to about 125 also till he keeled over.

pick your fav weapon, mix up combos with the ninja stars.
done deal for me.
but this way works too....if a bit dull. :D

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
I did this on my first play through, just using the vigorian flails as soon as you pick them up, there is a test of valour close by,has lots of the skull spiders and the other spiders, just use them to rack up a huge combo(i hit 176 before i ran out of enemies just mashing the Y button).
