Plot

Ninja Gaiden II

During Ryu Hayabusa's journey following Elizébet's trail into the Heart of Darkness in a South American Jungle, Ryu entered a series of caverns where he encounters both the smaller Death Worms and, later, the Giant Death Worm Queen. After defeating her, she burrowed trough a hole, allowing Ryu to progress.

Abilities and powers

• Burrow: The Giant Death Worm Queen moves around at great speed, disappearing from Ryu's range or quickly ramming him.
• Acid Spit: Like her smaller brethren the Giant Death Worm Queen can spit fast moving balls of acid onto her opponent.
• Tongue Mouth: The Giant Death Worm Queen's skull face opens up, allowing a smaller mouth to attempt to grab Hayabusa.

Strategy

• Charging up a 360 Lunar UT and releasing when approached will allow you to remain mostly unharmed.
