Walkthrough for Nioh's Kuroda's Determination mission in September 1600, Sekigahara. Learn boss strategies for Onryoki.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head around the area and up the watchtower to find a [_CORPSE_] (a fallen enemy that may contain items).
  2. 2
    Prepare for three waves of enemies. Leave the GIANT Dweller alive but near death.
  3. 3
    Buff yourself with Talismans, power pills, or regen items.
  4. 4
    Kill the GIANT Dweller to trigger the second wave.
  5. 5
    A Raven Tengu will spawn near the cannon. Use a Sloth Talisman on it if possible, and apply defense down.
  6. 6
    As you fight the first Raven Tengu, a second one will spawn from the other side.
  7. 7
    Activate your Living Weapon to quickly defeat one Raven Tengu and then focus on the second.
  8. 8
    The third phase is a boss encounter with Onryoki.

Boss Encounter: Onryoki

Onryoki in this fight does NOT have his chains, meaning he only has one form. All his attacks are from his non-chain form. He is buffed, hitting harder and having more health than previous encounters. One hit can do 1000+ damage, so be careful and manage your health.

Boss Moves:

  • Claw Swipes: Onryoki swipes at you twice when you are in front of him. Dash under his arm or back away to avoid.
  • Belly Flop: Onryoki does two claw swipes, then twists and performs a leaping belly flop. He can adjust his jump mid-air, so be ready to dash. If you see it coming from the start, back away and punish him after the flop.
  • Leaping Smash: Onryoki grasps his hands together, jumps forward, and tries to smash you.
Tips
  • Use the rock in the arena for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) if needed.
  • Focus on the Axman Samurai first if fighting multiple Samurai.
  • Let the spearman and axman come to you in narrow areas.
  • Sniping the archer first can be beneficial.
  • Consider warding off or killing the spearman early.
  • After defeating the spearman, you can go after the cannon guy.
  • If fighting two Samurai, focus on the Axman first as he is easier to exhaust.
  • Talk to Naomasa after the battle to complete the mission.
