The Obsidian Samurai is a formidable opponent, comparable to an enhanced Revenant with increased health and a larger move set. He wields both an axe and a large katana, and utilizes his Guardian Spirit, Atlas Bear.

Guardian Spirit Moves:

Electric Slam: The Samurai jumps and slams his fist, creating an electric AoE attack. Dash away to avoid.
Buff: Appears to enhance his stamina and stagger threshold, fitting his "bear" persona.

Boss Strategy:

Learn his combo ranges and punish him after he finishes his attacks.
Apply buffs and debuffs; the Sloth Talisman is particularly effective.
Take advantage of opportunities when he is low on Ki.
Use your Living Weapon when his health is low to finish the fight quickly.

Boss Moves:

Axe Combo(s): Primarily uses his axe with up to a four-hit string, often ending in a leaping axe smash. Can also incorporate punches.
Katana Combo(s): Uses a faster katana with multi-swing combos and good reach. Can perform an "Iai Quickdraw" attack.
Whirlwind Attack: When using his axe, he spins it rapidly and moves forward quickly. Run away until the last rotation, then punish. Blocking is a last resort.
Electric Slam: Summons Atlas Bear, jumps, and slams his fist, causing lightning damage in a moderate radius. Dash away to avoid.
