Ninja Gaiden 4 offers a decent arsenal for the new protagonist, Yakumo, in the franchise. Although there are not as many weapons as for Ryu Hayabusa, but enough for Yakumo to mess around and create unique combos. Yakumo starts with the Takeminakata (Twin Blades) weapon, a set of sharp blades that focuses on mobility with high damage. However, if players want to change the combat experience, they can switch to another weapon. One of the early weapons that players can acquire is Yatousen, a Rapier/Lance weapon. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock the Yatousen Rapier weapon in Ninja Gaiden 4.
Yatousen is the second weapon that Yakumo will acquire while progressing through the main story. To unlock Yatousen, players will have to destroy the first seal at the end of Chapter 3: Phantom Pleasure Quarter. Moreover, as players reach the seal location at the end of the chapter, they will engage in a boss fight with Kitsune Courtesan. It is the guardian for the seal and uses the Rapier/Lance as her weapon.
Honestly, the boss fight with Kitsune Courtesan is quite a challenge. This boss fight does not give you enough room to land your attacks. You have to always be in motion to avoid her attacks. The best moment to attack her is right when she is doing her Power Attack. If you perform the Bloodraven attack while she is in the air, you will be able to catch her with your attack, knocking her out of the sky. It gives you a decent window to deal as much damage as possible.
After defeating Kitsune Courtesan, Yakumo will destroy the first seal, which will conclude Chapter 3: Phantom Pleasure Quarter. As the cutscene of the next chapter begins, you will see Yakumo using the Yatousen weapon to deal with the flying foes.
Yatousen is a slender sword with a serpentine twisted blade that allows you to slice through one enemy at a time. Moreover, consuming the blood essence (Ravenblood form) will turn the sword into a sharp, conical lance, allowing you to tear through enemies. Yatousen is a unique weapon that allows you to work around the type of foes you are facing. If you are fighting regular foes, the simple sword will be enough for them. However, if you are facing tougher and more than one enemy, then switching to Lance or Drill is the play. Here are all the Yatousen Weapon Skills that you can perform.
