Skip masseuse nasu battle
On the mission The Blind Masseuse . u can skip the boss fight ! . once in the trainin area ( before the bosses room ) , kill all guards ( stealth is much better than havin guards on ur tail ) . on the map a red dot will mark a door . DO NOT GO THEIR ! . take the room at the right hand side of rin . ( a guard is in their . he will not move even if the alert is raised . so u can sneak in ( takes some amount of skill and perfect timein ) or a poison dart to the head will do the trick . go down the path and a cut scene will show rin killin nasu .
if u went to the dot ( like i did 1st time round ) u will have to fight him ( quite hard since he is a brilliant swordsman & keeps movin and blockin ) . this saves health meds and time .
