Learn how to defeat bosses in Nioh 3 Part 156, including tips for free headshots and countering specific boss moves.
Walkthrough
- 1As the fight begins, you can get in a free headshot (a critical hit to the head) on the boss, causing them to drop to the ground for a free finishing move.
- 2Use the rock to your left for breathing room to heal up.
- 3Be aware of the boss's various attacks, including Sword Combos, Arrow Barrage, Iai Quickdraw, Inner Strength, Quadrisect, and Summon Guardian.
- 4For Arrow Barrage, block the three arrows and re-engage.
- 5For Iai Quickdraw, get out of range or block if you have enough Ki, then counter-attack.
- 6For Inner Strength, use the Devigorate Talisman to counter the attack buff, or attack the boss out of the animation if you are close and careful.
- 7For Quadrisect, block if you have enough Ki, or dodge away; if too close, roll to the side with a low stance to get behind the boss.
- 8For Summon Guardian, block Raiken's attack unless you are far away. Be ready for a second attack as the boss's health drops below half.
