Hint: Easy Cash
I did this at the Clocktower in Tairon, but I’m sure it should work at any store. Simply go up the set of stairs marked by the blue border, and take care of the three enemies in the stairway. Now, go back down the stairs and return back up to kill the same three guys again. Collect the loot or health and repeat as desired! I found that if you use the Nunchaku, you can score around 30 or 40 hit combos, giving you up to 1,000 cash points at a time!

Classic Ninja Gaiden mini-game:
Give 50 Scarabs to Muramasa. This does not have to be done in a
single game play-through. You can continue from a completed game
save and collect the Scarabs that were originally missed until you
have the required 50 Scarabs. After giving them to Muramasa, you
will get the Ninja Gaiden disc to be used at the arcade machine at
Han’s Bar’s first floor.

Classic Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword Of Chaos mini-game:
Get a “Master Ninja” rank in all levels under the normal difficulty
setting.

Alternately, first unlock Ninja Gaiden. Then go to the Clock Tower
Plaza of Tairon. Get on the ledge above the multicolored door that
leads to Pleasure Street (where you flip the switch to unlock that
door). Aim your bow at the clock tower across the street. Shoot the
face of the clock and a treasure chest will appear on the building
that is across the street. Jump down, and enter the doorway across
the street with the stairs. Climb to the top, and open the chest to
unlock the Ninja Gaiden 2 disc.
Classic Ninja Gaiden 3: The Ancient Ship Of Doom mini game:
Get a “Master Ninja” rank in all levels under the hard or very hard
difficulty settings.

Alternately, first unlock Ninja Gaiden 2. Go to the Peristyle
Passage (the ceremonial room in the Aqueducts, just before the Boss
fight with the giant fossil bird). It is next to the Hall of
Balance. Triangle Jump back up to the top of the broken pillar where
a Scarab was previously hidden. You will now find the disc for Ninja
Gaiden 3 at that location.
Playing classic games easier:
Instead of going to the first floor of Han’s Bar, use the following
trick to start the games from the main menu. Successfully complete
the main game while any classic Ninja Gaiden disc is in Ryu’s
inventory. This will unlock another main menu option that will allow
you to play the classic games from there, without going to Han’s
Bar.
Japanese classic games:
Enter the options screen and set the text and subtitles to Japanese.
When any of the three mini-games are played, it will be their
Famicom counterpart.
Hint: Special attack:
Press Y + B to unleash a super attack that will seriously hurt
anyone.

Hint: Kill enemies quickly:
To kill an enemy very fast, jump towards them fairly close using A,
then quickly tap Y immediately before you hit them. You should
either throw them with the guillotine throw or slice their heads
off. If they keep trying to get off the ground, tap Y again to pin
them down or cut their head off. This is useful when you need some
extra money, are almost dead, or when you just simply want to get
through the section quickly because of frustration.
.
Hint: Finishing kill:
While a foe is on the ground, walk up to it and press Y. This will
instantly kill almost any foe.

Hint: Less battle damage:
When you are grabbed by an enemy or a Boss such as the Dragon, mash
the buttons quickly to escape without taking full damage.

Hint: Temporarily disable opponent:
When facing an enemy, tap A repeatedly. You will disable the
opponent temporarily. This allows you to attack them easier.

Hint: Defeating Alma:
To defeat Alma (red greater fiend), equip the Vigorian Flails. It is
recommended that they be completely leveled up. With the Vigorian
Flail, you can still hurt Alma greatly even when she is in the air.
Note: The shuriken, incendiary shuriken, and bow cannot hurt her;
they just bounce off.

In order to defeat Alma’s second form you must be patient and dodge
her attacks as in the first form. Wait for her attack dodge, then
attack with a three to five hit combo. Beware of her grapple attack,
as it is more powerful than before.

Hint: Defeating Black Spider Ninjas:
Jump off the wall and use the X attack to smash down on top off
them. Use this repeatedly, but be careful of the incendiary
shurikens that they throw.

Keep blocking, then keep countering and use the moves Guillotine
Throw and Izura Drop. This will kill them in one shot, or hurt them
badly.

Hint: Defeating Doku:
Keep using the Flying Swallow attack (A towards the enemy, then Y).
Every time you hit him, roll back, then jump. After that, try the
Electric Ninpo attack. Then, repeat the process. If Doku keeps
blocking the Flying Swallow attack, keep attacking him with it until
it hits him. When he throws his sword, you can either jump over it,
or roll and jump backwards. When he is doing his combo attack,
attack him when he is at the last attack of his combo.

Hint: Defeating Lava Dragon:
There is a way, when the Lava Dragon tries to bite you and holds his
head for a few seconds while you can attack him, you can jump on top
of his head and stand there briefly and attack him further. Do the
homing jump (A + X), but this not happen consistently. Either way,
whenever you can do it, it hurts him a lot. Also try doing a Ninpo
attack on top of its head.

Hint: Defeating Muria:
In Chapter 16 when you fight Muria with the Dark Dragon sword, the
easiest way to defeat him is to use the Flying Swallow. When he uses
the Dark Dragon technique, use an Art Of The Inferno to do some
damage and not get hurt.

Hint: Defeating Red Dragons:
When you get to the coliseum where you first fought Doku, there are
sixty Red Dragons. Stand on one of the lower platforms and use the Y
attack to kill them.

Hint: Defeating Spirit Doku:
To defeat Doku the second time you fight him quickly and without
getting hit, simply use the Ninpo attack “The Art Of The Inferno”.
If it is level 3, you can kill him in about six hits.

Hint: Defeating the Dragon Boss:
To defeat him, try to level up your Lightning Ninpo to the maximum.
Constantly run left or right. When he flaps his wings you will take
a little block damage. The only way to hit him without getting in
the lava is to hit his head when he lays it down momentarily. Try
using the Flying Air Dash attack. He will try to grab you
immediately afterwards; throw in a Ninpo just after that attack. If
you need to use a Great Devil Elixer, it will be useful.

Hint: Defeating the field of flowers Boss:
When Ryu enters the field of flowers then chants to make a stone
circle holding him fly into the air, the Boss is easy to defeat if
timed correctly. If you have maxed out Art Of The Inferno, use this
to inflict severe damage on him. It might require between five or
six hits for him to go down using this Ninpo.

Hint: Defeating the Giant Skull Spider Boss:
When facing this Boss, make sure you have full projectile weapon
ammunition and at least one extra Great Devil Elixir. When the Boss
is just standing around in the lava, use the Incendiary Shurikens so
they have a better chance of hitting. When he is walking around, use
the Metal Arrows or the Explosive Arrows. Use the normal arrows when
they are all that you have remaining. If he is still alive and
walking around in the lava and you are out of ranged weapons, you
can either try using Ninpo attacks, throw the Windmill Shuriken at
him, or run out in the lava and try to fight him. When he attacks
with the barrage of skeleton heads, you will get annihilated if you
do not know what to do. To prevent this from happening, you can try
to roll and jump around, but are probably going to get beat down.
You can use the Vigoorian Flail and swing away. You can also try
using a Ninpo attack, such as the Ice Shards. When the main head
comes in to attack, be in a Ninpo attack so that it does not eat
you, or try rolling and jumping to the side and he will miss. When
it is almost dead, it jumps onto the rock with you and you can
finish it off.

Hint: Defeating the first Holy Vigoor Emperor form:
To defeat the first form of the Holy Vigoor Emperor without using
Elixirs, Nipo, or projectile weapons, dodge his laser attack then
attack him. Equipping the Armlet Of Sun and True Dragon Sword is
recommended; attack him at the arms and chest with blade of Twin
Headed Dragons or Dragon Tear and Blade Of Dragons Tail.

Hint: Defeating Spirit Piranha:
These enemies can kill you very quickly and are extremely difficult
to get away from. They tend to leave a high amount of red Ki orbs.
Simply use the Fire Wheels Ninpo and run through them. You should
get enough red orbs to replenish your Ki. Also, use the Bracelet
that enhances the red orbs.

When at the core of the place, after each room you will go upstairs.
Instead of burning up all your Ninpo attacks, equip the Vigorian
Flails (maxed out) and the Armlet Of Tranquillity. Usually, you have
to face 25 to 30 on each stairway. Wail away using the Vigoian Flail
and you will be rewarded with a lot of Essence. Rest afterwards if
needed to replenish the life bar. This also keeps you from using up
all of your Spirit Elixirs.

Hint: Defeating the Vigorian Emperor’s second form (Giant Skull
Spider):
In order to defeat the final form of the Vigorian Emperor, you must
have at least two Great Devil Elixirs and your projectiles maxed
out. Equip the Ice Ninpo. Wait for him to start shooting out skulls
at you. As soon as you see those fly out of him, hit your Ninpo
attack. This will protect you and damage him at the same time. As
soon as the skulls are done flying, he comes in for a grapple attack
that causes instant death. If you time the Ninpo correctly, this
will be blocked. After each Ninpo attack, hit him with either
explosive shurikens or arrows, which will also inflict some damage.
Keep alternating between these attacks. After about five times of
doing this, he should be defeated.

Hint: Defeating Worms:
You will fight several of these Worms. They can be cheap if you do
not know what to do. Using the Whirlwind Shiruken is the key. Throw
out a maximum of three when they appear from the holes, then block
or dodge. Repeat this for an easy victory.

Hint: Defeating Zombies:
Use the diving Y attack that takes off their head. It will not kill
them, but they will be blind.

When facing the zombies under the cathedral and one of them happen
to lunge at you and starts biting, press X + A as quickly as
possible to kick it off and reduce the amount of damage that you
receive.

Hint: Easy kills:
An easy way to kill enemies such as foot soldiers is to equip the
Dragon Sword and run up a wall with an enemy directly behind you.
Hold X and if done correctly, you will chop off their head. Another
way is to equip the Windmill Shurkin and bounce off their head so
that they are stunned, You should chop off their heads. If they
block your attack, try again.

Hint: Chapter 4: Hidden Scarab:
When you go through the door with the three green eyes before going
into the room to fight the black ninjas, go to Ryu’s left. In the
thing that looks like a bathtub full of water, you will find a
Scarab.

Hint: Chapter 4: Windmill Shuriken and Xbox:
Near Han’s Bar in Chapter 4, there is an alley where you can find
the Windmill Shuriken and a silver Xbox that completely refills your
life and Ki. When you find it, start running towards the right-hand
wall in the alley from a distance. Wallrun the first right wall then
jump to the left wall and run it where it changes angles. Jump when
you get to the end of the wall. The ledge directly across that wall
at the top has the two items. If you need help getting onto the
platform, when close in the air to getting on there, use the
shuriken attack to get a little extra glide.

Hint: Chapter 7: Elixirs:
Just before battling Alma, when you exit the monk’s room and enter
the cathedral room (top floor), you should see two catwalks leading
to the big window towards the cathedral entrance on both sides of
the room. There is a chest in each of them. They contain one Great
Devil Elixir and one Great Spirit Elixir.

Hint: Chapter 8: Hidden Scarab:
After you get the Strong Bow and hitting the green eye, go back to
the ledge. Before jumping off the ledge do a wall run to Ryu’s left.
You should find a Scarab on the ledge.

Hint: Chapter 8: Helicopter:
While you cannot defeat the helicopter that arrives at the end of
Chapter 8, you can save yourself the trouble of endlessly dodging
around and getting smacked around by its missiles. When the
helicopter intermission sequence ends, just hold Block. For some
reason if you do not move, the helicopter will not shoot its
missiles at you. Just hold Block against the machine gun fire until
the helicopter goes away. You will not receive any damage for
blocking bullets.
.
Hint: Chapter 9: Hidden Scarab:
After fighting the mini helicopters and you begin to go to the other
side, you will notice a Scarab on top of one of the trains. Get
that, but before entering the room to get the military base map and
door card. Run straight up the door. On top of that little office,
you will find a Scarab.

Hint: Chapter 10: Defeating the Boss:
The Boss is similar to a big skeletal bird. He mainly uses a
laser-type attack, and it is fairly simple to dodge. After dodging
his attacks, quickly run up to him and position yourself between his
legs.tUse The Art Of The Ice Storm Ninpo. This is very effective. He
will either fly to the other end of the room or position himself on
a platform above you. Just keep dodging any attack he throws your
way. If he was on the platform, he will eventually come back down to
the floor. Repeat this tactic as many times as needed. You should go
into this battle with at least two Devil Elixirs. After doing this
tactic a few times, he should be defeated.

Hint: Hidden Underground: Bridge:
After fighting the Skeleton Dinosaur there is a long bridge. Do not
pass through it or you will fall after it crumbles down. Instead,
jump down after saving and later it will be available for saving or
for buying items.

Hint: Unlocking the safe in the monk’s room:
To unlock the safe in the monk’s room for the first time you need to
enter this combination: press Analog-Stick Left until you reach “2″,
then press X. Press Analog-stick Right until “7″, then press X.
Press Analog-stick Right until “1″, then press X. Press Analog-stick
Left until “2″, then press X. If done correctly, each time you press
X a blue light should turn on, until you see four blue lights and
the elevator to the underground cemetery opens. The combination is
the Monk’s birthday as he states in the diary (27th day on the 12th
month). You can now get the Book Of The Eons from the safe.

When opening the monk’s safe for Life Of The Gods, the combination
is different. The code is left to 1, right to 4, left to 1, and
right to 0.

After the flood drops you into the room with the elevator and the
long tunnel you can swim through, take the underwater elevator up to
the monk’s room. Dispatch the three Spider Ninja and go to the safe.
The new combination is right to 1, left to 4, right to 1, left to 0.
If you also reread his diary, it will mention that you ripped him
off and will then tell you that the new password is his daughter’s
birthday.

Hint: Absorbing Essence:
It takes one Yellow Essence to do a medium ultimate attack and two
to do the max ultimate attack . However, if you absorb one Red or
Blue Essence, you can do an ultimate attack.

Hint: Easy Essence:
Killing a foe without using Y will give you five times more Essence.

In Chapters 6 and 7, you will encounter the skeleton dino Boss.
After you defeat him, climb down towards the new opening he made in
the floor, but stop at the save location. Turn around with your
Nunchakun and jump up to the bats. Once you reach them, kill no more
than two to four bats and charge your super attack taking in two
Essence Orbs. Then, unleash the attack and gather up to 2,000
Essence each time. To replenish the bats, jump back to the save
point and repeat. The bats will not hurt you enough to kill, and
will randomly give you health. Once you gather all the Essence
desired, you can whatever desired. The maximum amount of Essence
that can be held is 99,999.

In Chapter 6, in the cave before you encounter the skeleton dragon,
you can get 99,999 Essence. Enter the bat cave and kill a few bats,
then charge up and release your strong attack upon the rest of the
bats. You will receive a substantial amount of Essence. Then, run
back to the save point area which is a short distance away and
continue to do this. If done enough times very quickly, each time
hitting as much bats as you can with the attack, you can achieve
99,999 Essence in about 35 minutes. Then, save the game and
slaughter the skeleton dragon.

The “Easy Essence” trick that can be done on Chapters 6 and 7 also
works on Chapter 10. Go to the room in which you come down the
ladder at the start of the level. It is also the room that leads
into the first aqueduct.

In the Hayabusa Ninja Village before the fight with the Samurai
Horsemen, there are three square targets just beside a dead ninja.
Backtrack a little until you see a parallel wood with the three
targets. Shoot the first two targets with the bow for easy Red and
Yellow Essence.

Go to Han’s bar in Tairon, just after the military invades the city
in Chapter 8. There will be four soldiers that you can kill there.
Use the Vigorian Flail to kill them all, using only the Cremator
attack to kill each one. You will typically gain 1,500 to 2,000
Essence for killing all four of them. Enter Han’s bar, then exit it
to have them respawn. You can repeat the process as many times as
desired. There is also a save point next to Han’s bar. Save the game
every few times you do this in case you die.

In Chapter 12 when you enter the room that you put the iron in the
vat to make the cog, there is a little tunnel that bats regenerate
in. Use the Amulet Of Benediction and you can get about 4,000
Essence each time. The Nunchaku or Vigorian Flails work best. Equip
either one, then throw two shurikens to kill two bats and absorb the
Essence.

There is a location in the Labyrinth of Vigor that can be used to
get easy Essence. There is a tunnel just after a save point,
Muramasa statue, and chest and just before a warp stone. Bats
regenerate in the middle of this tunnel.

Once you begin on Chapter 10, you will start down the manhole where
there is a save point. Ten bats will fly down. With your Dragon
Sword. slice only once and you should kill two or three. Then, do
not slice anymore. Instead, hold Y and do an Ultimate attack to kill
the rest of them. You should usually get at least 1,500 Essence. Go
back up the ladder then drop back down. Ten more bats should be
there. Repeat the process until you get 99,999 Essence. You can keep
going back to this location to refill on Essence throughout the rest
of the game; once you hit Chapter 10, you never have to worry about
running out of Essence again.

At Han’s Bar (after getting the ticket), just enter and exit the
building and there will be re-spawning enemies.

After exiting the aqueducts and when you go back to Tairon, there
will be new enemies. They look like pink zombies with holes in their
stomach and they shoot fireballs. When you go back to Tairon and to
Han’s Bar, you can enter and exit and they will respawn. Use the
Inazuma Ninpo Magic on the first three you see then use your
Ultimate Technique on the last (fourth) one and spawns (the fourth,
spawns after you kill the first three). Then, after you use the
Ultimate Technique it will give you an average of 1500 Essence. For
better results, equip yourself with the Armlet of Benediction. You
can also return to Han’s Bar after you have obtained the True Dragon
Sword and do the Ultimate Technique on the last enemy for even more
Essence.

Immediately before entering the Aqueducts, after you have exited the
train wreck walk around until the sewer pipes open up. After
defeating the zombies, enter the sewer and you will be greeted by
bats. After killing two of them, they will give you some Essence.
Use the Essence for your ultimate technique (spin Analog-stick and
hold Y). This attack will absorb all Essence and Ryu will make a
tornado of attacks, giving you a log of Essence. Just climb the
ladder and jump back down and they will respawn. Note: There is a
save point in same area.

Just before you enter the Caverns, after swimming through the water
in the waterfall there is a ledge. Jump down to find many bats they
come in waves of three to four. After killing two of them, absorb
(Ultimate Technique: Spin Analog-stick and hold Y), then repeat. You
can climb up the ledge which you fell from and go back to save.

Upgrade your Viggorian Flails to level 2, then go to the Labyrinth.
Go to the area where the “ghost piranhas” first appear. When using
the flails, the piranhas will never touch you. Use you Ultimate
Essence attack every chance you get. It only takes about two minutes
to clean out the area, and you can get at least 10,000 Yellow
Essence. There is also a save point and shop a short distance from
this area.
Go to the place just before you fight the level 6 Boss(where you
fought the flying bees). There will be a group of bats here. Kill
two, then charge up an Ultimate technique and let it fly. It should
kill the majority of the bats and you will get 1000 to 2000 Essence.
Leave the room, go to the save point, then do it all over again.

In level 13 there will be Fiends that look like strange little guys
who have skin right down to the bone. Go to the Great Bridge area
and equip your Viggorian Flails. Note: They must be fully upgraded.
Then, use the Cremator combo by holding Forward and tapping X
repeatedly. You should get about thirty hits per opponent. It does
not kill them — do it again. You should be able to get about a 100
to 200 hit combo. Once they die you will get about 2,000 Essence
because of the high combo. Leave the area, return, and repeat.

Throughout the game there are black crows. If you kill them
(shooting with arrows is easiest), they will leave a blue health
Essence behind.

Before you go into The Labyrinth, there is a save point and Shop
Keeper. Save your game and proceed to unlock the gate at the
entrance of the Labyrinth. At the entrance you’ will encounter your
first Ghost Piranha. Arm yourself with the Vigoorain Flail (full
level) and kill them all with as many special attacks (Y to absorb
Yellow Essence) as possible. Red Essence will also be awarded —
keep your Ki up. If you get swamped with Ghost Piranha, use the
Inazuma Ninpo. Each time you do this, you can earn up to 7,000
Essence points. Then, go back and buy all the goods possible from
the Shop Keeper. Save your progress as you go. Go back do this as
many times as possible as you progress through the Core of The
Imperial Palace. There are many Bosses to kill and you will need all
the goods for the final showdown.

Hint: Easy Scarabs:
After you defeat Marai, talk to him. He will show you a few moves.
After that, get out of there. When you first fight the new troops,
kill two, charge up, and take two of the Essence to do a powerful
move. Then when you are at the village, go to the shop and buy a lot
of items until you cannot buy anything further. The man will give
you 50 Scarabs.

Hint: More items:
Do not pass up the dead ninjas that are lying around. They have
items on them.

Hint: Armlet Of Benediction:
Give 15 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Hint: Armlet Of Fortune:
Give 30 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Hint: Armlet Of Tranquillity:
Give 40 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Hint: Dabilahro Sword:
Give 20 Scarabs to Muramasa. Note: In successive mode you do not get
it again until you give 43 Scarabs to Muramasa.

Hint: Dark Dragon Blade:
Successfully complete the game under any difficulty setting. Start
an already completed game and kill anything in your path. The more
people that you kill, the more likely you will get the Dark Dragon
Blade. When you reach the part to upgrade your Dragon Sword to the
final level, jump into the open house and stay on the top level. The
Dark Dragon Blade should now be into the ground, ready for you to
unleash its power.

On your second time through the game or in successive play, in
Chapter 13 when you return to the Hayabusa Village, go to the second
floor of the building the Maramusa statue is in. The Dark Dragon
Blade will be sitting there. Press X to pick it up. Note: You may
use it as a weapon.

Hint: Golden Scabbard:
After you defeat the first Thunder Worm, walk in his hole, turn
around, and wall run up the wall. You should flip up and get a
Golden Scabbard.

Hint: Healing Bracelet:
Give 40 Scarabs to the shopkeeper for a healing bracelet that will
slowly replenish your health. If you donot care about time, you can
just stand in a no enemy area and just heal away.

Hint: Kitetsu Sword:
After defeating the Armored Doku (the first time you fight Doku), he
drops his sword. Before you leave the room, make sure to get his
sword, the Kitetsu. This sword has moves different from the Dragon
Sword, and it can also drain an enemy’s life and restore yours by a
small amount with this combo: X(2), Right, X(8), Y . Also, the basic
Y tap attack throws the sword similarly to how Doku threw it at you
during the fight. The only drawback to this weapon is that when
equipped, your life will slowly deplete. if you equip the Armlet Of
Tranquillity, this will not happen because it restores your life at
the same rate the Kitetsu drains it.

Hint: Life Of The Gods:
Give one Scarab to Muramasa.
When you reach the broken bridge in Hayabusa Village, there is a
chest behind some debris. To reach this, rapidly press A when you
touch the water, and you will walk on it. You will be rewarded with
a Life Of The Gods.

In level 8, Near Great Bridge Square go through the blue cracked
concrete wall by using the War Hammer. Run along the walls to get to
the windows.

Hint: Sprit of the Devils:
Give 10 Scarabs to Muramasa.
Hint: Unlabored Flawlessness:
Upgrade the wooden sword completely to receive its true form, the
Unlabored Flawlessness. It is a large weapon which you swing like
the war hammer and Dabilahro, and has a very powerful Ki attack.
This weapon makes Boss fights easy.

Hint: War Hammer:
After defeating the flying female Boss that breaks through the
stained glass, immediately when you start the next level run back
into the doors. Go past all the debris and you can find the War
Hammer in the area where you fought the Boss.

Hint: Windmill Shuruken:
Go to Han’s bar but do not go in the front of the club. There is an
alley that has blue striped walls. Run on these blue stripes and it
should lead you to a platform with an silver Xbox that replenishes
your health and a metal plate that holds the Windmill Shuruken.

Hint: Obtaining rewards:
Talk to the shopkeeper every time you see him. This is when he will
collect your Golden Scarabs. He will give you rewards after every
several Scarabs.

Hint: Kill Rachel:
After you get the True Dragon Sword and go through all the magic
circles, exit the last one before the battle with Alma’s second
form. You can see the pyramid in the distance with Rachel on top. If
you shoot at her with an arrow, you will hear her scream and you
will receive a game over.

Hint: Longer wall running:
When you are about to fall from wall running too far, jump forward
towards the wall again. You will start to wall run again.

Hint: Rankings (demo version):
There are four rankings available in the demo version: Lesser Ninja,
Greater Ninja, Head Ninja, and Master Ninja. To get a “Master Ninja”
rank, you must complete the game in about six to seven minutes. For
a “Head Ninja” rank, complete the game in about seven to eight
minutes. For a “Greater Ninja” rank, complete the game in about
eight to fifteen minutes. For a “Lesser Ninja” rank, complete the
game in more than fifteen minutes. For best speed, do not try to
kill every enemy. Run from all the non-mandatory enemies, defeat the
boss with the big sword, using Y counters during his 3-hit combo.
