Twin Snakes Attack Breakdown
With two snakes come two sets of abilities. Thankfully, each snake is color-coded; one is blue and the other purple, so we’ll know what snake is capable of doing which ability.
Let’s run through all of their attacks.

Twin Snakes Strategy
Take a deep breath and relax. This may seem like an uneven fight, but you’re more than capable of taking them down.
I’m going to split things up for thisNinja Gaiden: Ragebound guideinto separate sections that encompass what to do during each portion of the fight: when the blue snake is active, when the purple snake is active, and then phase two when both are up and running.
Dealing With The Blue Snake
Patience is a virtue when dealing with the Blue Snake. There’s nothing worse than trying to be aggressive only to end up standing on fire.
The Blue Snake will always throw four orbs out at four preset locations, though the order is random. Keep this in mind to know where to stand to attack during this, and where to sit back and chill.
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal damage. Just be patient and wait.The biggest thing to keep in mind is that the Purple Snake won’t sneak attack you the first time you do a hypercharged attack, so feel free to damage it without worry. However, for the subsequent ones, be mindful of this sneaking snake.
Dealing With The Purple Snake
It’s a little trickier to deal with the Purple Snake’s attacks, but again, your patience will be rewarded.
I mentioned it earlier, but it’s different this time:when you do your hypercharged attack against the Purple Snake, the Blue Snake will come up to attack you. you’re able to sidestep this attack and deal damage to the Blue Snake, sneaking in extra damage.Overall, just dodge or parry the orbs and stay far away when the flamebreath is building up.
Dealing With Both Snakes
There’s a lot of chaos happening on your screen, but in reality, if you know how to deal with the attacks, you’ll be peachy. Using your projectile attack is crucial to stay out of range from each snake while still poking at them to lower their health.
One thing you’re able to do to help with this phase isuse your Kunai Barrage Ragebound attack to deal more guaranteed damage.I activated my Ragebound when they had around 30% remaining health and finished them off.
