Plot[]
Ninja Gaiden Sigma[]
During Ryu Hayabusa's journey trough Tairon and its connected areas he encountered multiple Giant Worm fiends. After one of these encounters against the electrified kind, he acquired The Art of the Inazuma.
After crashing the train he stole from the military supply base Ryu traverses the aquaduct's of Tairon. There he encounters 3 of the electric worms: a lone one in a small room with some water and an opening that the fiend comes from and two more in the caves underneath the aquaduct.
Abilities and powers[]
- Retract: The Giant Worm can retract back into her hole to avoid most close range attacks.
- Grab: From its hole, the Giant Worm can quickly move forward and attempt to grab her enemy.
- Slam: While upright, the Giant Worm can slam quickly into the ground, damaging the player character.
- Elemental Shot: The Giant Worm shoots balls of her element toward the player.
- Elemental Ring: The Giant Worm creates a large ring of fire that is shot toward the player.
Strategy[]
- Most of the time, one can just dodge and wait for it to be on the ground to strike.
- While one can jump trough the elemental rings, it is much easier and safer if one dodges around them.
