Learn how to defeat the Obsidian Samurai and Oda Nobunaga in Nioh 3, including their movesets and weaknesses.
Walkthrough
- 1Obsidian Samurai: This enhanced Revenant fights primarily with his axe, but also uses a katana. Learn his combo ranges and punish him after he attacks. Use buffs and debuffs, as he is particularly weak to the Sloth Talisman. Take advantage of times when he is low on Ki (stamina). Use your Living Weapon (a temporary powerful state) once he is low on health to finish the fight quickly.
- 2Oda Nobunaga: This boss fight is not about defeating Oda Nobunaga, but rather reducing his health to under 25% to trigger a cut-scene (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)). He incorporates elemental attacks (Tengen Kujaku: Lightning, Ice, Fire, Earth, Wind) and close-range sword combos. Dodge his elemental attacks and counter his sword attacks, especially when he expends his Ki. Let him run out of Ki to knock him down for critical hits. Use your Living Weapon a bit earlier to reach the 25% health threshold and end the fight.
