I see all kind of sophisticated techniques to beat this boss on YT, but for me it was simply impossible, until I discovered that I could ask for assistance on that blue swords. One of them was strong enough to keep the boss busy and doing 90% of the work lol. You just need to be careful to not be involved and help him from time to time.

Have always enjoyed your content since Nioh 1..can't wait to see how the builds stack up. I know the kusa and Odachi pretty much took the crown for most powerful in the first game and I'm hoping dual swords will have a good place in this one..Keep up the good content💪 and thanks for your help.

@tremorism4 жыл бұрын
If you're still stuck after watching this, try stripping off and going completely armorless. You'll be killed easily, but the extra i-frames you'll get from massively high mobility will help you with dodging through attacks. Being so light will help you practice timing the dodges. You can also run around that shed and it will help protect you a bit from everything except projectiles, so you can have a breather there. Good luck. You've got this.

His brother Gozuki, I could easily dodge his attacks by dodging INTO him at the very last moment, and he would never hit you. I tried doing the same with Mezuki but its very inconsistent because he will still get you because of his spin, it always clips you. I tried dodging into him, it doesnt work a lot of times.

Just discovered your channel and I like the look of your guide for this horse-headed monstrosity. (It's also good to hear a fellow Aussie doing these videos. )My problem is that the guard and dodge buttons are side by side, and pressing two buttons at the same time is hard for my old hands. I have tried to reconfigure the controller but I am not having much luck with that either. Anyway, I have subscribed and will keep trying to sort this out. This game has way too many multiple button presses for my liking.
@tremorism4 жыл бұрын
Multiple buttons is hard, especially in Nioh with guarding, ki pulsing, stand switching and lots of skills etc. I have arthritis in both my hands which make it hard to play and hurt when holding controllers, so I hear you. Sounds like you're not on the default controller layout though, which has guard on Left Button and dodge on Circle. Try that and you should find it a lot easier.
@akitas81654 жыл бұрын

Sadly this didn't work for me due to my poor reaction timings but running around and using bombs and a bow at times did. Though in the first clear, I used help and had better gear available and was at level 9 on the second time that was solo. Also Enki's soul and 5 elixirs helped. Be sure to purify the area and avoid the projectiles. And for those comparing with dark souls, I got stuck Taurus demon, compared to that third try here is not as bad, it's certainly more difficult than sekiro though. On second thought, I may have approached this like Sekiro rather than dark souls, except for the offensive part which might not help with the rest.

He just grabs me everhtime I try to dodge
@tremorism4 жыл бұрын
If you're right up in front of him and dodging you'll go straight through it so long as you don't time your dodge too late. He doesn't have one move that can't be dodge through, so it's just a timing thing to get used to. When he does a grab that can result in him sawing you, his arm kind of gets the smokey/other realmy look. At 1:55 he does a grab move with the other realmy arm and you see me dodge right through it. Don't stand just ahead of him though - that decreases the i-frame window. Stand right at him, pushing your face into his bits. That's the place to be. When you stand right in front and against him it not only gives you more margin for error, it also increases the odds of getting backhanders instead of grab moves, so the number of grab moves should be limited to only one or two or even none for the whole fight - and since his grab move also can't kill you from full health you just have to keep doing that and dodging forward through everything and popping a health when your health dips below full to be safe, even if he does get you with it. If you're still struggling with that, try dodging his arm attacks to the forward/left. Dodging forward has the game kind of push you to the left, but if your timing is out, pushing forward/left will help too. I'm also assuming your weight/armor encumberance isn't too high...

@tremorism4 жыл бұрын
Your level doesn't really matter in Nioh as much as your build. But, to get the most out of your build you need to allocate stats and unlock extra skills/passives etc, and for that you need to increase your level. Early game in Nioh it is pretty much pointless to grind levels as you can't really create good stomping builds until NG+. You're basically meant to go through the game and learn the mechanics early on, get to NG+, complete that, then start crafting builds by mixing gears sets etc. It's kind of a learn first stomp later kind of game.

When you press dodge, be sure to KEEP holding guard down at the same time. I highly recommend practicing what I'm showing here as it will do wonders for you playing the rest of the game. Just remember, use burst counters. I don't in this as I'm trying to demonstrate, but burst counters timed right will drastically reduce how long it takes to beat him, and therefore shrink the time of the fight thus reducing your chances of getting hit and losing. And if it's giving you the shits really badly, take a break and come back to it. Fresh minds make boss fights go way smoother. Good luck man!

Also, strip off all your armor and get a feel for dodging with no armor on. You'll find the extra mobility helps with timing dodges. Give it a shot. Not just one or two runs, but a quite a few to get a real feel for it. Just remember, hold guard while you're dodging all the time, and try to time your dodge for when the attack is going to hit so you i-frame through it.

Lol. He's meant to be skipped and you're meant to come back to him. He's there for veteran players who want to unlock the shortcut straight up when replaying, saving you from doing the whole level on subsequent run throughs. So it's actually really good design in that respect, although maybe they could have given some kind of hint that you could skip him I guess 🤷♂
