Part 140

Learn how to counter Yuki's Ice Shot and Area Ice attacks, and master the White Tiger boss fight in Nioh Remastered. Get tips and strategies to defeat these challenging foes.

Alright, let's break down some of the tougher encounters you'll face, specifically focusing on Yuki's ice attacks and the White Tiger boss from 'The Demon of Mount Hiei' mission. These can be tricky, but with the right approach, you'll get through them!

Yuki's Ice Attacks:

• Ice Barrage: This is Yuki's most dangerous long-range ice attack. She'll summon three chunks of ice above her head that shoot straight at you in a rapid volley. It's like a shotgun blast of ice! Your best bet is to guard the first few shots and then dodge out of the way. Getting hit by this can take a serious chunk out of your health, so guarding and dodging is key.
• Ice Spread: This is another ice shot move where five icicles appear above Yuki's head and shoot out in a spread pattern. This one's designed to punish you if you try to dodge sideways. It's much safer to just stay put and guard against it. You can also try guarding and slowly walking left or right, and you might just avoid it entirely.
• Area Ice: Yuki has a couple of variations of this. The first is where she shoots ice onto the ground in front of her, creating patches that damage you if you stand on them. Your best bet here is to just move the fight to a different spot. The second version is more dangerous: she'll create a circle of ice around herself, potentially trapping you right next to her. This ice doesn't last forever, so try to stay calm, guard when needed, and wait for it to dissipate before moving further away.
• Charge Attack: This one's a real pain. Yuki will make her halberd disappear and then charge straight at you. It covers a good distance, similar to her Halberd Throw. If you can back up far enough, she'll end up right in front of you, leaving her open for an attack. If she does connect, she'll grapple you, dealing moderate damage on the first hit and then minor damage as she throws you down. Honestly, the animation for this move is pretty cool, even if it hurts!

Boss Encounter: White Tiger (from 'The Demon of Mount Hiei')

Okay, so you've got the White Tiger to deal with. Even though he shares a similar body type with Nue, his move set is completely different and he's much faster, especially with those black wings allowing him to dash across the arena. But don't let that scare you – he's actually one of the easier bosses you'll face, especially compared to Yuki.

The main strategy here is to attack his sides whenever you get an opening. This is especially true when he uses his 'Eye Laser' move; you can dash right through it, just like Nue's 'Lightning Breath'. The White Tiger hits hard, so make sure you keep your health topped up and use any buffs you have, like Talismans or Onmyo Magic. Keep the pressure on him, and don't forget to unleash your Living Weapon when he's down to about 25% health to finish him off with a bang!

White Tiger's Moves:

• Claw Swipe(s): This is his basic melee attack. He'll swipe his claw forward, sometimes chaining multiple swipes together if he thinks he can hit you. If you're close, try dodging to the side to get an angle to attack his flanks. If you get hit, it'll deal damage.
