Ninja is first encountered in the Cave to the Sealed Gate, on the eastern edge of the Gestahlian Empire. The player must press the right-hand switch adjacent to the save point chamber in the middle of the cave system to fight a solo Ninja. Stealing from this Ninja is the first chance for the player to obtain a pair of Angel Wings (excluding the Jidoor auction). In the now dis-continued 2014 Steam version, the switch could be reactivated after entering and leaving the save chamber.
Every turn Ninja have a 66% chance of throwing a Flame Scroll, Water Scroll, or Lightning Scroll, doing several hundred damage to the party. They often attack in pairs, and can quickly decimate the party. They have a 33% chance of countering any attack with Stealth, granting status. They are weak to .
Ninja may drop a Fuma Shuriken, a powerful throwing weapon for this point in the game.
