Tips
  • Onryoki Attacks:
    • Claw Swipes: A basic melee attack. Dash under his arm or back away to avoid the two swipes.
  • Ball Throw: Onryoki picks up and throws a giant iron ball. Lock on and dash left or right to dodge, then counter-attack.
  • Belly Flop: Onryoki performs two claw swipes, then a leaping belly flop. Be ready to dash out of the way, or back up and punish him after the flop.
  • Leaping Smash: Onryoki grasps his hands, jumps forward, and attempts to smash you. Dodge backward for safety or dodge to the side and punish him.
  • Grab Attack: A close-up melee move. Dodge away or to the side quickly. If grabbed, he will bite you and throw you to the ground.
  • The walkthrough has a dedicated section for DOJO missions if you need assistance.
  • Make it a habit to buy ammo at the Blacksmith every time you need it.
