Learn how to defeat Joro-Gumo in Nioh 3. Discover her moves, weak spots, and effective strategies for this boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Stay on Joro-Gumo's (referred to as "Joro") backside whenever possible to attack her weak spot.
  2. 2
    Use Fire Talismans or other fire-based attacks, as fire is particularly effective against Joro.
  3. 3
    Heal whenever necessary, as Joro is not overly aggressive and allows time for recovery.
  4. 4
    Dodge her frontal attacks and reposition yourself to continue attacking her rear.
Tips
  • Joro-Gumo has a large, obvious weak spot on her backside.
  • Fire is a highly effective element against this boss.
  • Joro-Gumo is relatively slow, giving you ample opportunity to dodge and attack.
  • Avoid her web attacks to maintain full mobility.
  • Switch to the other side of the room when she uses her web-spitting attacks.

BOSS MOVES:

  • Web Spit: Joro spits a blob that creates a web on the ground, slowing your movement. She can spit one, three, or five blobs. Switch sides of the room to avoid large areas of webs.
  • Leg Attack: A frontal lunge with her two front legs. This attack has limited range and is slow, allowing you to dodge and counter. She may perform a 1-4 hit combo.
  • Slow String: A frontal attack that inflicts the "Slow" status. Evade left or right. If hit, stay defensive until the effect wears off.
  • Jumping Slam: Joro jumps and slams down where you were. This is a slow attack, easily dodged if you have sufficient Ki (stamina).
  • Lunge Attack: A straightforward frontal rush attack that can be evaded by dodging left or right.
  • Defense Mode/Body Spin: Joro lowers herself and covers her rear. This enables the "Body Spin" move, a 360-degree spin attack with her behind. Only attack when she is not in Defense Mode.
