Learn the moves of the Centipede and Umi-Bozu bosses in Nioh 3, including their weaknesses and attack patterns.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Centipede Boss Moves:
    • Pincer Attack: The Centipede charges and crunches its pincers repeatedly. It is incredibly persistent and will chase you, but you can out-run it or block and dodge to the side to counter, though blocking drains Ki faster.
  2. 2
    Poison Stone: Breaking off a limb can create a "Poison Stone". Break it apart quickly. If needed, use the Air Machine in the upper part of the map to make the air breathable again.
  3. 3
    Flop Attack: When body parts are broken, the Centipede rears up and flops down to crush you. Stay behind it or keep away to avoid damage. Blocking and attacking is possible if you have enough Ki.
  4. 4
    Poison Spit: Instead of the Flop Attack, the Centipede may rear up and spit a cloud of poison. Avoid standing in the poison and use an antidote if necessary.
  5. 5
    Paralysis Spit: Similar to Poison Spit, but shoots a stream of purple spit that can cause Paralysis. This offers a free hit for the boss if it connects. Keep healed to mitigate its annoyance.
  6. 6
    Tactical Retreat: The Centipede runs away, potentially regaining some body parts, which may lead to more Poison Stones. It does not regain health.
  7. 7
    Umi-Bozu Boss Encounter:
    • Umi-Bozu is weak to FIRE damage.
  8. 8
    Light your weapon on fire using the bonfires/shrines in the boss arena.
  9. 9
    These fires also kill Flan enemies that join the fight.
  10. 10
    Equip Fire Amulets for added effectiveness.
  11. 11
    The fight has two phases: Umi-Bozu as a giant in the sea, and smaller on the dock with you.
  12. 12
    Phase 1: Umi-Bozu shoots water blobs and slams tentacles. Avoid the "Light Beam" attack, which is a one-hit kill.
  13. 13
    Phase 2: Umi-Bozu is on the dock with you. FIRE damage speeds up the transition to this phase.
Tips
  • For the Centipede's Pincer Attack, blocking and dodging to the side allows for counterattacks but consumes Ki quickly.
  • If poisoned by the Centipede, use an antidote.
  • If paralyzed by the Centipede, focus on healing and avoiding further hits.
  • The Centipede's Tactical Retreat can lead to more Poison Stones upon its return.
  • Utilize the bonfires/shrines in the Umi-Bozu fight to your advantage for FIRE damage and enemy control.
