Part 46

Learn how to counter the Ogress's deadly moves in Nioh Part 46. This guide breaks down her Claw Flurry, Leaping Slash, Fire Breath, and Grab attacks to help you survive.

Alright, let's wrap up this mission and see what's next. First, grab all that sweet loot you earned. After that, you'll get a cutscene with Okatsu, which is pretty cool. She'll reveal who she is and you'll actually get a new Guardian Spirit: Gyokuto!

With that done, a few new missions will pop up. Check them out below. The next one, 'The Weight of the World,' is a cakewalk.

• Twilight Mission Unlocked: The Bleeding Spider Lily
• Sub-Mission Unlocked: The Trail of the Master
• Sub-Mission Unlocked: The Seven Good Tidings

~ The Weight of the World ~

Location: Unknown Temple, June 1600

Prologue: William, we've finally caught up with Lord Ieyasu. Soon we will meet with him, and you can see what sort of man he is for yourself.

Area Lore: During the Warring States period, military commanders frequently traveled from battlefield to battlefield, making it difficult to hold meetings at their castles. With the help of local monks and ninja, they began meeting in alternative locations. Thus many discussions that would change the course of history occurred in temples instead of castles.

Ogress Moveset Breakdown

Before we move on, let's quickly go over the Ogress's attacks. Knowing these will make the fight much smoother. Keep your equipment weight low if you can, and try to block if dodging isn't an option. These attacks are manageable if you're prepared.

• Claw Flurry: She'll go berserk, doing rapid claw attacks and moving forward, finishing with a twirl. Back away and stay safe, especially if you're low on Ki.
• Leaping Slash: When you're out of range, she'll jump forward for a quick slash with each claw. Easy to block or dodge.
• Claw Leap: This one's a doozy. She'll leap into the air, track you, and slam down. Watch where her front lands and dodge towards her BACK. This might mean rolling into her sometimes! Get in hits while she recovers.
• Claw Slam: Similar to the Claw Leap, but she stays on the ground and slams her claws forward in an area-of-effect attack. Stay out of her face, and watch out for damage on her recovery.
• Fire Breath: Her main ranged attack. She'll jump back, inhale, and unleash a stream of fire from right to left. You can dodge through it with good timing, or try to get to her side to attack as she finishes.
• Grab and Slice: Her grab attack. She'll rush forward with corrupted hands. If she grabs you, you'll be impaled, tossed, and slashed a few times. Dodge the initial rush away from her. Even if grabbed, you might survive if you're not too low on health.
• Flower Sprouts: She might do this when low on Ki. Red flowers will sprout around the arena, eventually creating large patches of Yokai Realm.
