Boss Encounter: White Tiger

The White Tiger is a fast boss with a different move set than the Nue. While it looks intimidating, it is one of the easier bosses. The key is to attack its sides, especially when it uses its "Eye Laser" move, which can be dashed through like the Nue's "Lightning Breath". Stay healed and use buffs like Talismans, Status Effects, or Onmyo Magic. Unleash your Living Weapon when the boss is at about 25% health.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Attack the sides.
  • Dash through "Eye Laser" attack.
  • Use buffs (Talisman, Status Effects, Onmyo Magic).
  • Use Living Weapon at 25% health.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: White Tiger uses basic attacks and "Explosive Kunai".
  2. Phase 2: White Tiger uses "Eye Laser" and "Body Twist" in addition to other attacks.

Strategy:

  • Claw Swipe(s): Evade to the side to attack its flanks. If hit, it will hurt but likely won't be fatal if you are not near death.
  • Eye Laser: Dash through the laser with good timing to get to its side for free attacks.
  • Body Twist: Avoid being too greedy with attacks. If too close, guard or dodge quickly afterwards to regain Ki.
  • Explosive Kunai: These do minor damage and can be guarded against or avoided by moving.
  • "Nue Slayer" Bronze Trophy (after defeating Nue).
  • Random gear from a big chest.
  • Last Healer Kodama found.
