What's the full Ninja Gaiden 4 missions list? Yakumo's main objective is to fulfill the Raven Clan's prophecy and finally cleanse the Dark Dragon, but there are plenty of people in Neo Tokyo who need his help along the way. These optional side quests are a great way to pick up items and currency, which can make later chapters so much easier to complete.
Missions in Ninja Gaiden 4 are the fastest way to collect NinjaCoin, which you can put towards unlocking essential combat skills like the Ninja Gaiden 4 Guillotine Throw. However, the best rewards from side missions are health upgrades and accessories, and our full missions list will ensure you complete them without extending your Ninja Gaiden 4 playtime. Here are all the Ninja Gaiden 4 chapters and missions in order.

You can accept new missions from Umi at the DarkNest Terminal. Some mission objectives can only be completed in specific chapters, since you need to find an item or execution target in a set location. Other missions can be completed across all areas and chapters, usually involving collectibles and minor combat challenges. Umi gives a verbal cue whenever new missions become available, so don't forget to access the DarkNest Terminal whenever you encounter it on your travels.
