Shinobi Art of Vengeance: How to find all the collectibles in Oboro Village

Oboro Village is the first stage of Shinobi Art of Vengeance , but don't be fooled: despite its apparent simplicity, it holds secrets, challenges, and items that require strategic returns. Many players need to revisit this area to unlock abilities or access hidden routes. Therefore, knowing exactly where the collectibles are makes all the difference in achieving 100% completion.

To advance without leaving anything behind, it's essential to have tools like Sword Dive , Cannon Punch , and Ninja Hooks . These resources allow you to break walls, reach high areas, and confront elite enemies. This makes every part of the map accessible, and hidden collectibles cease to be a mystery.

Location of the Elite Squads in Oboro Village

Oboro Village is the only stage that features just two Elite Squads , but both require precision. The first can only be accessed after obtaining the Cannon Punch , available after the Lantern Festival event. To reach it, simply teleport to the Antechamber save point and follow the upper left path. Prepare to deal with platforms on spikes, taking advantage of the opportunity to drop enemies directly into the abyss.

The second Elite Squad requires both the Ninja Hook and the Ninja Claws . It's located on the left path of the Collapsed Bridge, in a secret area leading to a challenging jumping puzzle. The objective is to traverse the area using the hook and defeat enemies on a dangerous platform positioned above spikes. This victory grants access to the Kunai Killer , an enhanced version of Kunai Burst Ninpo.

Important secrets and unlockables

Besides the Elite Squads, Oboro Village holds two valuable secrets. The first is the Max Kunai Boost , which increases kunai throwing capacity. It is located to the right of the Attack Save Point, accessible only with the Sword Dive , where it is necessary to break a treasure chest.

The second secret is the powerful Kunai Burst Ninpo , found to the left of the Attic Save Point, behind a corridor of green spikes. To obtain it, the player needs Ninja Claws , as the challenge demands perfect movements on short platforms. Using the Glider makes it easier, but the execution is still precise. This ninpo becomes essential for facing larger groups of enemies.

Where to find all the Oboro Relics

Throughout the stage, it's possible to collect five Oboro Relics . The first ones appear relatively easily, but the last ones require specific tools:

1. The first Relic is located near the Village Ruins Save Point. Simply use the Sword Dive on a green wall to reveal it.
2. The second one is located in the Antechamber section. Following the bottom right exit, after defeating enemies, the item can be collected from a treasure chest.
3. The third one appears after completing the Ankou Rift . It's located in the upper left path, hidden in treasure chests.
   
4. The room is located beyond the Collapsed Bridge Save Point, in a large room with waves of enemies. After defeating them, head to the left and go down to find the secret box.
5. The fifth one is practically impossible to miss, as it appears on the main path, right after the fourth Relic, just before the last shop of the stage.

Location of the Ankou Rift in Oboro Village

The Ankou Rift in this stage is located just below the Attic Save Point, after acquiring the Max Kunai Boost . To access it, you need to perform a Sword Dive in a specific area. This section is one of the most difficult in the stage, testing mastery of skills such as double jump, air dash, rolls, and slides in narrow corridors. Despite the difficulty, completing the challenge rewards the player with one of the Dark Katana , a rare and highly valuable item in the campaign's progression.

Exploring all the secrets of Oboro Village in Shinobi Art of Vengeance is more than just a simple search for collectibles. It's about training to master the game's mechanics, as each challenge tests different skills. By gathering the five Oboro Relics, defeating the two Elite Squads, and completing the Ankou Rift, the player not only achieves 100% map completion but also strengthens their arsenal for the following stages.
