Part 101

Master Honda's attacks in Nioh's Part 101 mission. Learn strategies for Spear Attacks, Spear Dash, Shinka Summon, Shinka Heal, Boulder Throw, and Ki Blast to secure victory and obtain the Shinka Guardian Spirit.

Boss Moves: Honda

1. Spear Attacks: Includes high and mid stance heavy attacks like Piercing Rain and Windmill. Dodging to the right is key to getting out of range and often behind him for punishment. Watch out for the short-range grab attack that sparkles; dash away when you see it.
2. Spear Dash: Honda sparkles his spear and dashes forward very fast with good range. Recognize the sparkle and dash or roll away to avoid it and punish him.
3. Shinka Summon: Honda summons his Guardian Spirit for a small area attack in front of him that inflicts a purple earth status effect, increasing Ki cost. Get behind Honda quickly when you see this (unless he's using Shinka Heal) to be safe.
4. Shinka Heal: Honda summons Shinka to apply a strong regeneration effect on himself. He clutches his chest before doing this move; attack him immediately to interrupt it and prevent a longer fight.
5. Boulder Throw: Honda uses his spear to carve out earth and throws it at you. This is his only long-range attack. Dodge to the side or guard it.
6. Ki Blast: Honda gathers ki and slams his spear down for a large area of effect blast. Even blocking causes damage. Rush him afterwards as he will be low on Ki for an easy grapple or final attack.
