The Terrorist (Rocket Launcher) is an Enemy in Ninja Gaiden 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.

Overview

This Soldier comes in his regular variant and his 9-Barrel Pod wielding counterpart.

Appearances

• Day 1

Techniques

• Projectile Attack:
  • Fires a missile from his Rocket Launcher.
  • Rains several rockets down upon Hayabusa from his 9-Barrel Pod.
• Explosive Death: upon dropping his weapon, it explodes inflicting damage to Hayabusa.

Strategy

• Since they can knock Hayabusa out of the air, while dealing substantial damage, they take priority over most enemies.

Ninja Gaiden 3

• Jump toward him with Wind Run (Quick Attack + Jump) and attack him from above with a Flying Swallow (While jumping forward — Strong Attack) for an Instant Kill. Then finish him off as he's crawling around on the ground with an Obliteration Technique (Close to a Near-Death Enemy — Strong Attack) to gain a substantial amount of Ki, while avoiding any danger from his Explosive Death.
• If in need of more Ki, close the distance further and launch an Izuna Drop (Quick, Strong, Quick, Quick, Quick, Strong Attack) Instant Kill into Obliteration Technique.
• Jump into the air and press Left Bumper to aim with your Bow. As the arrow locks on the foe, fire for an Instant Kill: in later levels, it may take two or three shots.
• At close quarters, any single attack is enough for an Instant Kill on these enemies.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge

• You may follow the aforementioned strategies by unlocking the Flying Swallow and Falcon's Eye Ninja Skills, however the former will simply result in an Instant Kill on hit.
