The Falcon's Talons (硬殻猛禽爪 Kōkakumōkintsume?, lit. "Hard-Shelled Raptor Claws"), also known as the Metal Claws[2], are a pair of melee weapons in Ninja Gaiden II, obtained in Chapter 2: The Castle of the Dragon. They also appear in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus, and Ninja Gaiden II: Black.
They make a return in Ninja Gaiden 3, available from the start with the free PlayStation 3 patch or Xbox 360 "Ninja Pack 1 Lite" DLC, and in Shadows of the World with the "Metal Claws" paid DLC. It is also featured in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, first seen on Day 1.
Overview[]
This unique weapon consists of customized gauntlets with large steel claws worn on the hands and feet. They are found in Chapter 2, inside the building that overlooks the courtyard with the Rod of Trials Shrine, just before the flight of stairs up to the Castle of the Dragon. You'll have to fight many Black Spider Ninjas once you enter this building. If you do not get them here you can later purchase them from the shop. They return in NGIII as downloadable weapons and are acquired via falcon in Razor's Edge.
Details[]
An advanced version of the hand claws, or teko-kagi, that have
been an essential part of the ninja's arsenal since ancient times.
Modeled after the talons of birds of prey, this set includes both
steel claws for the hands and bladed foot attachments. The basic
hand and foot techniques learned by every ninja can be converted
into brutal cutting and slashing attacks with these weapons.
Although the claws themselves are short, the use of multiple blades
on each appendage increases the overall cutting surface for devastating
attack capability. The gauntlets to which the blades are attached also
enhance the wearer's defensive capabilities, making them extremely
versatile weapons.
