I have played the expansion once, so far, though less stealthy than I could have wished for, on the bright side I finally got the Up and Down-Trophy which you get for taking out an enemy by first shadow leaping to the ceiling and then performing a drop-kill on your unsuspecting victim. During my first playthrough I found that your initial set of shadow techniques is quite sufficient for finishing the game on Normal difficulty, but you can, of course, gather collectibles and gain points to expand your arsenal. Also, Kunai can now be used to booby-trap bodies (exploding kunai), meaning that if you wait for guards to approach and investigate, you can blow them up, too. The Shadow Kill now has you summon a panther that will leap at your victim out of thin air and swallow it (this is instead of the already awesome dragon Ryo commands). So, yeah, there are a couple of new shadow powers that come with this expansion. To unlock the house (in case you attempt this on your first run and don't know how) you need to hit the switch in the cave underneath the house.Also, you can summon either Hyo or Shinobu for a synchronized kill, which is pretty cool.

You do need however to go through the house locked by a light wall on the right, as there are a few enemies inside (5 or 6). On Chapter 4, in the final area which is a timed section, you do not need to go through the locked door on the left (there are no enemies there). Just make sure you don't take the elevator! There are trophies up for grabs for doing a no-kills run and a kill-everything run, and both are challenging ways to tackle the game, though its not always. Once you reach the elevator you will be able to open each light gates and backtrack to the start of the level. On Chapter 2, don't worry too much about killing enemies whilst you follow the messenger. If you missed someone, a '?' sign will show up if they can hear the whistle. When you think you're done, run a couple of times around the area whistling as much as you can ( ). You will want corpses to be found as when this happens and the alarm is raised, a '!' icon will appear for each remaining enemy in the area (which helps making sure you've completely cleared the area). Take kills as they come and do not use shadow kills. You may find full video guides online but it will probably be easier and faster to deal with it on your own. For this one you need to kill all enemies on every Nightfall level.
