Learn how to defeat Okatsu in Nioh's 'A True Ninja' mission to unlock the Kusarigama Mystic Art and claim your rewards.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak with the NPC (non-player character — anyone the game controls, not you) to initiate the mission 'A True Ninja'.
  2. 2
    Prepare for a boss encounter with Okatsu. Before the fight, consider using items such as Poison Shuriken, Makibishi Ball, Blinding Shell, Gallnut Broth, Power Pills, Groundfire, and a Quick Change Scroll.
  3. 3
    Use Power Pills and Gallnut Broth at the start of the fight.
  4. 4
    Attempt to poison Okatsu with Poison Shuriken.
  5. 5
    Use Makibishi and Groundfire items when Okatsu approaches to punish her.
  6. 6
    Manage your health carefully, as you have limited healing items (only three).
  7. 7
    Watch out for Okatsu's sword combo attacks, especially when she uses the Gyokuto buff.
  8. 8
    If in serious trouble, use a Quick Change Scroll to recover.
  9. 9
    Punish Okatsu's attacks when she is recovering or low on Ki, utilizing Grapple and Finishing Attacks when possible.
  10. 10
    Be aware of Okatsu's Gyokuto Buff, which extends her attack range and may make her faster.
  11. 11
    When Okatsu uses her Gyokuto Buff, her feet will glow.
  12. 12
    Study Okatsu's moves, particularly her Sword Combos, to better anticipate her attacks.
  13. 13
    Consider using buffs like Sloth Talisman for extra damage.
  14. 14
    Focus on managing range and Ki to succeed in this fight.
  15. 15
    Use buffing and debuffing items strategically, especially after Okatsu has taken some damage.
Tips
  • Okatsu is very agile and moves quickly, launching combos and trying to disengage.
  • Punishing her attacks after she finishes a combo is key, especially when she is low on Ki.
  • Mastering the range of her attacks will allow you to bait her and punish her effectively.
  • The Gyokuto Buff significantly extends the range of her sword strikes and kicks.
  • Okatsu's Guardian Spirit, Gyokuto, is activated when she uses this buff.
  • This fight is similar to a previous encounter with Okatsu, but with limited healing items and no Living Weapon, making it more challenging.
  • Using items like Blinding Shell can be effective due to Okatsu's speed.
