Watch the cutscene. When you regain control of Ryu again, you'll be on a flying fortress, as the chapter is aptly named.
Quickly get behind something as gun turrets are shooting at you from up on the roof of the building ahead.
When you're safely behind the turrets, make use of the holes you can shoot through. Use the Fiend's Bane Bow to get rid of the turrets on top of the building straight ahead, and also to the left and right of you. Do so as quickly as possible, as the turrets will eventually shatter, leaving you out in the open with no cover.
Find a container of arrows on the right side.
Watch the cutscene. Now an entrance to the fortress opens up and a new enemy is revealed, the Executor.
TIP: The Executor is a large enemy, and so cannot be launched into the air. Use Flying Swallow (Y while jumping forward) to inflict quick damage, use ground combos, and focus on one at a time. Additionally, the Eclipse Scythe weapon is ideal for large, slow enemies. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with its combos, and use it to your advantage. In particular, the Blood Rain technique (Y while jumping) inflicts three devastating slashes from above, and is difficult to avoid. Beware of the Executor's death explosion, as it damages Ryu. When the Executors are down, head inside.
Restock yourself at the Muramasa shop. Now enter a new area.
Turn left and head around the corner. You will be attacked by more Executors. Destroy them.
Continue down the hall to the very end and find a chest of Red Orbs.
Go back and take the other way down the hall, and save your game at the save point.
Go into the new area where Ninjas will attack you. Eliminate them.
In the corner find a chest with an Herb of Spiritual Life. Open the second chest in the area to obtain a Devil Way Mushroom.
Open the next door and go inside. Destroy all the ninjas you find here. Keep going down the hall and follow the path all the way around. At the end of the path find a chest with a Life of the Gods.
NOTE: At this point we found 9 Life of the Gods items, which increased our maximum health.
Now head back and enter the door right in the middle. More Executors attack you. Destroy them, taking care to move away when they're exploding.
When the Executors are down, press the switch in the far right corner to activate an elevator. An entryway will open and you'll have fight a Mecha Soldiers and Gun Ninjas. In a situation like this, constant movement is key.
TIP: The Mecha Soldier is, like the Executor, a large enemy and cannot be launched into the air. These are some of the biggest, toughest non-boss enemies you'll face in the game. Ninpo works rather effectively against them, and may be your only recourse when you face more than one of them. However, your most powerful weapon, the Eclipse Scythe, is an effective tool of destruction for the job, provided you know how to wield it. If using the Dragon Sword, use Flying Swallow constantly, and get in quick combos before dodging away and repeating the process.
From the elevator, go to the door on the other end, furthest away and walk in. Kill all the ninjas here.
Save your game at the save point.
On the left side of the control find a Crystal Skull.
When you're ready interact with the control deck. Attack and destroy the controls. Now the fortress will be on autopilot.
Head back out and face off against more Executors. Defeat all of them.
Now head to the other door on the other end and open it. Defeat the Ninjas here and go left to find a chest with a Life of the Gods.
Head down from here and enter the only door you'll find. More Gun Ninjas will attack you, so destroy them.
Enter a door on the right, then enter another door on the right and defeat the ninjas.
At the end of the room find another door. Enter it and kill all of the easy Gun Ninjas. There will be a chest on the left next to the control board with Red Orbs. #Destroy all of the controls to bring down the fortress on the left and right side of the room.
Find the chest next to the door to replenish your ARROWS.
Last but not least, use your Fiend's Bane Bow to destroy the blue reactors in the middle of the area to overload the flying fortress.
Head all the way back through the hall with Light Artillery Ninjas at the end. Defeat them, closing the distance as soon as possible.
When you head through the door, the lasers you saw before are gone. Continue on through the area. Enter the door, and enter another door on the left with a Muramasa shop and a save point.
Leave this room, make a left and go down another hallway to fight some more Gun Ninjas.
Keep going forward and take out the Light Artillery Ninjas with a few "Flying Swallow" techniques.
Continue on and enter the door on the left, the only door you can enter. In the corner on the left find a dead body with a scroll entitled "Yogenta's Notepook".
Head back and activate the elevator which takes you to an upper level. Soon you'll fight more Gun Ninjas. Eliminate them.
Destroy all the control boards here to further damage the ship. On the left side of the entrance find a ladder. Climb it to reach another room with computers.
Find the chest in the room with an Herb of Spiritual Life, and another chest with a Lives of a Thousand Gods.
Next to the chest go through the door, which leads you to a few more Gun Ninjas. Destroy them.

Go down the ladder and walk out across the wing. Enter the door on the other end.
Save your game at the save point.
Head through the door and. On your left will be a corpse with a Devil Way Mushroom. As you continue on, destroy every Gun Ninja that gets in your way. Enter the door.
Light Artillery Ninjas and Gun Ninjas Will attack. Destroy them, focusing first on the Light Artillery Ninjas.
Enter the door on the right and continue down the hall. Watch the cutscene.
When you're ready, enter the only door you can and open a chest with an HERB OF SPIRITUAL HEALTH. Defeat the Gun Ninjas in the room.
Go into another door, destroying Ninjas as you go. Open the next door and another cutscene occurs.

Save your game at the save point. Open up the door trigger a cutscene and boss battle.

Boss: Genshin (Second Encounter)

This time Genshin will have a few Ninjas helping. They throw incendiary shurikens, so beware. Once you kill all of them, they will respawn, so give them as little attention as possible initially. They will disappear for good after a few spawns.
TIP: To deal with Genshin's minions, use the Izuna Drop technique (X Y X X X Y), as you would any light Ninja enemy. Genshin will take damage is you're lucky and he's close enough.
Use ninpos if you're in trouble (especially with the surrounding Ninjas) and use your health sparingly as you'll need it for something that comes up right after this boss (you'll see).
TIP: Genshin is very quick just like the last encounter. When you have Genshin one-on-one, constantly Reverse Wind around him in circles while he attempts combos, and when he takes a breath move in for a short ground combo. Don't bother with air-combos, as they will fail and you'll take damage.
Once he takes enough damage, he'll be beaten, but not dead.
Watch the cutscene. Now that you're no longer on the fortress, and when you thought everything was okay, you realize you're in for another: the Flaming Armadillo.

Boss - Flaming Armadillo

TIP: Your main move in the fight is Reverse Wind. You'll need to use when he shoots fire out of his mouth, when he rolls up into a ball and charges you, when he launches fire balls at your from his back, and any other time you feel threatened. This fight can be an exercise in left-thumb stamina, to be honest. The good news is that Reverse Wind is almost 100% effective in saving you from his attacks, and none of them could be categorized as "unblockable."
TIP: To damage the Flaming Armadillo, you have two options, the Dragon Sword and the Fiend's Bane Bow. To use the Dragon Sword you'll need to always stay on his sides, and use two combos on his head solely: Flying Swallow with a triple back-and-forth hit, and (the better of the two) Blade of Susano'o (X Y X X X X). The Blade of Susano'o can really take him down quick if properly executed. To use the Fiend's Bane Bow, wait for a moment where he is all the way on the other side of the map from you, and take the opportunity to fully charge up the BOW. When his head is in view, hit him directly in the head.
If you get too close to his mouth, he'll grab you and cause major damage.
NOTE: Save your Ninpo as it has no affect on this boss.
NOTE: If you take half of his health away, he'll really get angry and turn red. Be wary of this, as he'll be drastically quicker. Keep slicing away at his head and he'll soon be finished off.
OBLITERATION: If you find that when he has reached almost zero health he becomes stunned and slumps over, move in close and hold Y for a nice finishing move.
IMPORTANT: When all of his health has been drained, block, as he will self-destruct, killing you in the process if you are unguarded. When he's down watch the cutscene.

User Arctic Inferno added this suggestion:
The Chapter 7 Boss Flaming Armadillo can be beaten by the incendiary shurikens alone, and the length of the fight will be measured in seconds, not minutes. Throw the incendiary shurikens at it's head. If you jump while throwing, auto aim seems to work better, but may throw them while on the ground, too. It may be the easiest boss in the game.

Achievement: Finished Chapter 7
