Whether you’re new to Dig or a pro already, there are plenty of secret quests that you can complete to get special rewards. The Ninja Way is one such quest that gives you a valuable charm, but finding the NPC who gives it is a bit tricky. Follow this guide to learn how to complete the Ninja Way quest and earn Sydney’s Katana charm.
How to Start the Ninja Way Quest in Dig

To start the Ninja Way quest in Dig, you must find the Sydney NPC near the lighthouse to the left of Cinder Shores at these coordinates: 769, 266, 647. The lighthouse is located on a cliff, so taking the regular path to enter the Cinder Shores area won’t do. Follow the given steps to locate Sydney easily and start the quest:
- From the entrance of Cinder Shores, drive straight and take the right path.
- Turn right again and head up the mountain after passing through the woods.
- At the end of the cliff, you will see a lighthouse. You need to walk behind it.
- You’ll find Sydney sitting at the edge. Interact with her by pressing the E key.
- Select the Start Quest option, and she will ask you to defeat any boss in Dig.

How to Complete the Ninja Way Quest Easily in Dig
Once you defeat any of the Dig bosses, return to Sydney. Then, talk to her again to receive Sydney’s Katana charm. Now that you know how to complete the Ninja Way quest, let us guide you on how to defeat bosses easily in Dig.
To take on bosses more easily, use the best Dig shovels like the Beast Slayer or Arachnid Shovel. Pair them with charms that boost boss damage, such as the Blueshroom Cap or Spiky Barrel. You can also place Dig totems like the Monarch Totem, which helps you deal 25% extra damage to bosses.
If you’ve been completing Combat Guild quests, the Bounty Hunter buff will give you even more boss damage. For extra advantage, enchant your shovel with the Sundering enchantment. If you are not that far in levels, consider defeating the King Crab to complete the quest. It has the lowest HP of any boss in the game.

It has a 0.018% chance to spawn naturally, but you can summon it using a Seafarer’s Horn at Cinder Shores. Head to the Combat Guild in Fernhill Forest and buy boss summoning Dig horns. Just make sure you’ve defeated that boss at least once to unlock the horn.
Lastly, don’t worry about dealing the most damage. No matter which Dig location you are in, just head to a boss fight and contribute enough to complete the Ninja Way quest. Just remember, you must start the quest first for the boss defeat to count.
How to Reroll Sydney’s Katana Stats
Now that you’ve defeated a boss and returned to Sydney, she will reward you with Sydney’s Katana charm. However, there’s a chance the charm’s stats may not be very appealing. Unfortunately, you can’t repeat the quest or talk to her again to get another chance at getting better stats.
To change the pips on the charm, you will need a Charm Chisel in Dig. You can buy it from the Appraiser at Fox Town for $25,000, and it lets you reroll the stats of any charm. Follow the steps below to learn how to reroll Sydney’s Katana stats:
- Open your equipment bag and select the Charms tab on top.
- Look for Sydney’s Katana and click on the pencil icon.
- Pay the required amount of cash, and the stats will be altered.

Equipping the charm won’t let you reroll the stats. You must unequip it first and then follow the steps above.
That is how you can complete the Ninja Way quest in Dig and get Sydney’s Katana charm. Are you going for the Ghostbuster quest next, or are you focused on completing the Shovel progression? Let us know in the comments below!
