@Beowulf791 Yeah I kill Yatsu-no-Kami in my sleep now haha. Helps that the game likes to randomly throw him at you a lot.

it's eerie how correct this is lol

The game is simple, if you can't beat it you don't deserve to continue the game. Either you buckle up, be a big boi and commit or return the game.

I honestly got close to giving up. But I didn't

@@nikosmosxos5856 For me I had to stop at the owl. The game straight up became unhealthy for me by that point. Feel like I wanna return and start fresh though.

She kinda quirky though Edit: I just got the reference

Like every boss in the game I have that feeling

You really ask yourself that? Damn

Misael Toral what else do you say when you see a giant snake with swords in its head?

Spankyfriedwombat I certainly don’t ask myself how to kill it. Just beat the shit out of it

@@misaeltoral508 Stop trying to act cool, I didn't struggle with the boss but I know what he means. There's a lot going on visually and you have to quickly figure out how to best approach the fight

For begginers Enenra is also preety hard, most dodge and attack while both Enenra and Yatsu no kami need a medium to long distance and attack when the time is right.

Interesting that the snake relates to the main character's father. In Japanese mythology, gazing upon a Yato-no-Kami would bring the extermination of that person's entire family. Neat little detail there, I feel.

Idk story flew over my head until I beat him so to me it was just a big angry snake

@Beowulf791 they pretty much nailed it. Team Ninja put a lot of care into both games, as there are a good few similar details throughout.

That's deep

@@Grimnoire Wait till you see NG+++ you get aproximetaly 2 second window per 1 to 2 minutes dealing at best 5% hp

I think kelley still has the best theme out of all bosses. I'd put this in a close second

Dont forget enenra

Wasn’t like that for me. Mine was actually Enenra.

@@ski-meme-trash-k1ll3rsbane71 Weirldy, enenra only bothered me after this damn snake, in a twilight mission. Sword snake still #1 thought, I had nightmares about his 3v1

After clearing the 30th underworld depth floor i can safely say: yes

it's like the dog nun boss in bloodborne, the pursuer on ds2, the taurus demon of ds1 and the abyss watchers of this game

Mike tyson mysteries?

This part was great. I'm glad we are a seeing a little more variety of music in Nioh 2.

If early boss themes sound this good, imagine what the later ones will sound like.

Yeah its incredible. And to think we only had like 5 boss themes for over 20 bosses

Thrak The Carrier Of The Moonlight yea it’s a shame only some bosses had their own theme. Okatsu and yamata no orochi are the only one who comes to mind.

@@jlit5215 the 2nd dlc final boss and nine tailed fox also have their own themes

Just so you know I'm like way past this boss now 🤣

Learning the boss is definitely one thing. The music does such a great job at amping up that tension, though. I've made so many mistakes just from the frantic pace of this track.

The fact that some of the snakes weren’t instant and actually were a bit slow really threw me off and made me dodge too early. Overall, he’s not TOO hard, just tricky

That is until you get to higher difficulties where you have smaller windows to do everything, get more damage and deal less, the game expects you to fuck up eventually in a 5 to 10 min fight in dream of the wise and up.

Oh... that release date is coming my friend... and you know that is just the tip of the death ice-burg. Amrita will be lost. Swear words will be shouted. Controllers may be destroyed as well. But this is just how the game needs to be played.

@@TheDocbach hot n spicy just how I like it

This is the first one to actually make me yell in anger. But I really just don’t like the yokai fights. Cause they have the same problem as bloodborne’s beast fights, they are fucking bullshit. I can trade blows with a human enemy, but if a yokai hits me, I am crippled and fly across the arena like a fuckin’ used condom. They deal too much damage in too few attacks, and can fuckin’ curb stomp you in a 100 to 0 combo.

@@nuckchorris499 or maybe you bad. Don't take it personnaly my dude but all the Yokai fight in this game are managable if you know when to strike and how to use explosive counter. The same is true for Bloodborne. Actually it's even easyer in Bloodborne.

@@baptistemoser2641 don’t take it personally, but go fuck yourself.

That goes to Sekiro's final boss for me, never had so much trouble with a boss before this guy took me 3-4 tries

The Brilliant And Amazing Gamer it was pretty easy to me

Beta version was very hard. Sadly, she's been toned down.

Hopefully this map gets a nightmare mode. I need to die some more😭

@@FieryHellzGaming I to this day am not able to kill this dude I played every fromsoft game there is but this guy is my match...

Ps: maybe tate ebochi is competing

hEyaHEyaHeYaHeyaHeYa

Chameleos

girros

Luis he yeah kinda actually

Najarala?

@@bigshaq639 that too

This guy gets it!👍

Literally this part came in and I instantly fell in love with the boss, when it drops as you manifest into the yokai dimension felt so fucking cool

@Nook Small Yeah Nioh games are 50% planning and preparation and the other 50% of gameplay. Just like if you would in real life if you wanted to beat a beast of legend that can beta armies with ease.

Wait??? What happens if u didnt? You fight him in a pool of posion??

@@sezaargaming702 If you destroy the statues you fight him without stage hazards, if you don't destroy all the snake statues there are 4 pools of poison in the level to also mind at the same time.

Damn right! Screw it to hell 😂

@Shaggy Daddy that's still a lot lol

Don't feel bad. Could have been 62 ;)

I’ve started souls games and souls likes since I was like 4/5years old this boss was kinda easy with an odatji but as i said I’ve played these games for awhile

I died 5 time before I learned he pantern of attack but I'm a fast learner with that kind of game

Thought of that too

It's honestly crazy, this was by far the hardest boss in the game for me, no other boss took me more than 10 tries and most I got within 3, but this dumb worm? 44 tries, according to my death count. Absolutely crazy.

@@gackybass its far worse on high level expeditions. the boss got high defense and a dirty attack where it just keeps on sweeping with the tail from afar that wears me out with one swipe., and it cant be countered either.

@Gachibass I'm currently half way through the 4th region and Yatsu has been by far the hardest boss I've encountered. I dread to imagine the beta version of her apparently that was insane lol.

@@destormmystery6490 huh? I can Just Block it wich takes only like 30% of my stamina

@@draw2death421 idk. I made this comment like 6 months ago. Things might've changed

Beta demo version was ridiculously difficult. They toned it down unfortunately. I loved it.

@@mortalkombatfan786 what made him so obnoxious in the beta they had to nerf him? high damage? over-aggressive?

Currently stuck on this boss. It's the fact that a couple of mistakes could kill me. Once I managed to bring it to a sliver of health but I fucked up and blocked instead of dodging a grab and I died. Doesn't help that I never even tried the first Nioh so I'm pretty new to everything

High health, high range, 3v1 phase, little room for mistakes with these damages.

still not difficult although i think katsuie is harder due to his attacks having a lot of range and also deceiving timings to block/dodge/avoid

Same here

Seething Dragon has corruption on it which, while not useless, doesn't do much against Yokai. In future, you'd be better off using a weapon with something else like Purity.

No you dont understand, the way i play these games is when a boss is right there, i have to beat it, and i faced this right after enenra, the only wepon i had max familiarity was the seething dragon, i literally have no other choice

Yes

Slight similarity

we have enenera x men, and now yatsu no kami batman

Just block or use axe it’s not that bad the pig yokai boss used to be so much worse to the point that he had to be nerfed

You are meant to use enemy weakness and player strengths, I don't know why everyone struggled on this boss.

@@Aiden-Ed it was a joke beside once I figured out what I had to do it was an easy fight.

@@MrJmaster09 I get it.

it's just overtuned hp and nothing else, the moveset aren't even hard, just takes forever and it can kill you with one hit.
