LOL. He didn't heal when his health was perilously low. Now that's confidence.

2020 just beat him. By this stage of the game you have pretty much found out how to defeat niohs bosses. Dodge, block, run and find moments where you can quickly get attacks in. This boss i found extremly difficult to find these moments. Ended up going in with my most powerful 2 handed weapon on high stance. Put water on my sword and carnage buff on before i went through the door. Once inside, sloth and the weakness buff on him then got to the side of him and just mashed triangle doing 1000+ hits. As soon as sloth ran out i used it again and kepted it up. Once it ran out again he was at about 30 to 40%. Then used living weapon and finished him off. Not much of a plan but thats what worked for me lol Good luck

.....yea...no it's not this fuckin easy i call bullshit he was jukin and flash stepping on this cat like ichigo in bankai form. Obviously much stronger than when ypu first fight the boss

I found it easier to dodge the triple laser just by running up to him. Instead of guessing which way he'll go, I just stood by his neck and got a couple hits.

Will you PLEASE heal?!?!

Anyone randomly here thats still stuck, took me 2 hours to beat this guy and I'm pretty sure I was 10-12 level under what I should have been. Here is my strat. 1. Low Stance only 2. Cast an attack up and elemental buff before entering the door (i used water) 3. Immediately start by wailing on him, dodge back to get your stamina and cast a defense up buff. He should whiff his paw strike. 4. STAY AGRESSIVE! The paw strike is probably his most lethal move because it can stunlock you into a 4 hit combo. When he charges at you dodge left and go right in attacking. 5. If he hits you with the paw strike you cannot dodge out of the stunlock but you can block. Block the 2nd or 3rd hit (if you aren't already dead lol) and time your dodge for the next strike. Learning this saved my ass so many times. 6. One again STAY AGRESSIVE, when he winds up to do the yellow laser quickly move in and attack his head allowing you to stun him. Being too far away from that attack can be an instant kill due to how hard the sweeping variation is to dodge. His spinning attack has a pretty easy tell so block it if you see it coming, trying to dodge away is unreliable because of range and dodging in is inconsistent. 7. If you do get a moment of respite and he is far enough away, re cast your defense and/or offense buff. Every little bit of health counts. I'm sure every seasoned Souls player has died to a boss with a sliver of health left. Good luck to anyone who is still struggling with this game.

This guide is nice, but there are easier ways to beat this boss. Equip a water based guardian spirit. Apply pleiades, extraction, and water talisman before opening the door and use spirit stones to pre-charge your guardian if it isn't ready. Immediately hit the boss with sloth and weakness. Activate your living weapon and wail away. The pleiades and extraction will keep you in living weapon and the water damage will stun the boss. I got the white tiger crusher title with this strategy while wearing lvl 50 gear. My weapon was the spear from the raging bull set and I had 30 magic and 20 spirit. Most of my other stats were set to 10. Once you realize how overpowered magic and ninjutsu are the game becomes much easier.

Love that your videos are straight to the point. Always a manageable length

Nioh knows how to humble you, last two boss before this ass, I killed on my first try. Got a little arrogant and this thing showed up. Still haven't beaten him but thanks for all the tips in the comments and the vid

I think I died about 5 times. All my armor is light armor, my character around level 76. (Haven't checked, but it's around there) Used single sword. Medium stance throughout. I gave up on dodge rolling for the most part, and blocked the majority of attacks. I only dodge rolled to get out of a corner or away from a wall. I waited until just after he finished shooting his death ray (or whatever it is) and as he finished, I nailed him with everything I had. I. made sure I was right next to him, so that when he finished, I just stepped in front of him and wailed away. This boss is not a damage sponge.... you can drain his health quite quickly. Just wait for the death ray, as he shoots it, get super close to him, and as he finishes, just let him have it. Do that a few times, evade or block the other attacks, and this boss is toast.

Beaten him twice Primary Mission... After 4 tries Secondary Mission ..After 70-80 tries and 4 hours of saints falling down

Thanks man. As soon as i saw you in low stance it made sense and i got immediately. I was always mid to high stance. Thanks again

I had a hard time for the first 2 attempts. For the 3rd attempt I just blocked all of his attacks and attacked him in between his claw strikes and when he shot his lazer. I beat him first try using this strategy. I'm not sure but this might only work for heavily armored people since I use the axe and am heavily armored but it's worth a try if you're struggling!

Ive been trying to beat this boss for almost 6 hours now. Probably around 300 deaths. Imbsurprised I havent broken my laptop. Worst boss in the game yet

On this level just before the boss on the left in a pit is another electric cat monkey thing. What happens if I kill him? Just curious if he’s worth the trouble.

2:03 watching this like, “Heal bro!! Heallll!!!!!!!! 😂

I just beat him before watching this video. As soon as the fight starts I high stance a light combo with a water sword while he’s roaring it infected him. Then I stayed to his left or right forcing him to attack with his paw knowing which side it’s going to land due to my positioning. Once I started to dodge his claws it was a easy game.

I was stuck on this for ever but I found if you use weakness talisman, sloth talisman then living weapon it should go down easy :(

Just beat it. Here's what I did: I have a light build, lots of stamina, minimal armor. I used the spear, " Akaoni-no-sankaku" ( it does fire damage, and with Max familiarity, it does 410 damage. You get this weapon from a sub mission boss fight against li, the red demon) I used low stance I dodged like crazy and I barely blocked. Focus more on dodging without blocking so your stamina builds right back up. With a light build this is very possible. I would Dodge all his attacks, Dodge Forward and attack ( mostly with two hit combos) and Dodge backwards or to the side. Dodging to the side with a spear in low stance does a quick spin move that you can spam, really useful when you have to dodge multiple attacks coming at you very quickly. You kind of have to get a rhythm going and analyze his attacks, try your best to predict what he'll do next. You'll die a few times before you get the hang of it but once you feel the rhythm of the fight you should be able to take him down I hope this helps 👍

Damn what level are you at? That was alot if damage

He wasn't even that hard, he was just a pain in the ass

Hardest boss I've fought so far. Took me 3 days....

This is a lot of help. Thanks! :)

Anjin, do you expect to continue without healing yourself?

The three laser beams keep fucking me over

Good guide...you make it look effortless

2 years later and I am still stuck on this boss lol

Just defeated the boss after 10 tries, here’s what I did: Build: Strength/Magic Level: 63 Make sure you have your living weapon gauge full. As soon as you step into the arena cast sloth and wail on him. Go as far as you can and bait him into doing his full screen charge. Rinse and repeat. Use second sloth talisman and use your living weapon to finish him. Easy peasy.

How I beat him: 1. Carnage 2. Steel 3. Ninja attack power 4. Water buff 5. Sloth 6. Run to his tail and attack

Hi, really love your explanation on the boss mechanics. One request, can you please make a video on dealing with Onyudo(those demons with tongues hanging out). I am not able to deal with them. I know it is a silly request. It will help a fellow gamer though :)

You’re a fucking madman, the 1hp king!

hey holmes when is the next walkthrough of nioh..? the 7th walkthrough i think. thanks and nice vids btw..

This boss is such trash. I wish developers would stop relying on cheap enemy mechanics to make the game difficult.

I just got the chance to play nioh 1, for those like me in 2020 that have having problems with this boss: Just use the sloth magic and use your living weapon. I used it from the beginning of the fight and lowered his HP to 40% then use your second sloth magic and attack him a lot from his sides

Honestly sloth talisman + water buff is OP

This boss is actually super easy. In fact, many of the bosses are quite easy once you know a certain trick and that trick is the Sloth talisman. I use Kusarigama and before each boss, I use the ability to power up (Summer Twilight), use carnage talisman and whatever elemental talisman that will work best or I just use poison if I don't know. Then once the fight starts, immediately use sloth talisman to slow them down, then use life seal and weakness talisman. Then just go ham on the boss. Using a Kusarigama, I can immediately whittle the boss down to half health in 15-20 seconds maybe and then I just pop my living weapon and kill them in the next 5 seconds. Really the trick is the sloth talisman and the Kusarigama. People really underestimate that weapon and don't utilize Onmyo magic enough. I REALLY don't understand people who use slow weapons like Odachi, Axe or Hammer in this game. I usually go for those weapons in the Souls games but Nioh enemies and bosses are just way too damn fast.

YO BIG HELP FOR ME WAS USING OMYO MAGIC AND NINJUTSU STUFF LIKE WEAKENING TALISMANS AND LOWERING DEFENSE TALISMANS

Sloth talisman is your best friend

After reading the comments : Am I the only one not using Sloth talisman? the problem with White Tiger is the stagger when it use its claw, messed up your timing. Also, don't attack it from behind too much, it has a grab attack with its tail

He has the crazy fire attack insta kill

how to beat any boss the cAsUaL way. ochoko.

I’m surprised people found this hard, i only had to heal twice

Good stuff man this boss is kicking my ass

I fucking love this boss's design. Anybody got a wallpper?

Cannot dodge laser beam or blocking won't work either it instantly kills me at start of ballet cannot even hit him and sloth doesn't work and dodging doesn't help either. Level 90 at moment

Even though you got the style to beat him it seems like you had been a lot higher level than i am right now trying to beat that scum, but you propably had kill him ahyway on any level

That claw attack is so shit, and I can't dodge it like the video would suggest

how do you dodge the laser shit?

i swear to god the dodge timing for this bosses close attacks is all glitched and out of whack. fuckin ridiculous

I beat this guy on my first try for some odd reason

That piece of shit as been a pain in my ass for a couple days now fuckin hate cats

I DID IT BUT via twigtlight mission this cat is so anoying i rekomend leveling up as much as possible buy strong weapons and light armor

Hello

WOW!!! You are my sensei! Great job dude.

The easiest way is...sloth and... slice hahaha

I somehow beat him on my first try

Even when i try to dodge this son of a bitch, I die. Help :(

Nice just wasted 4 hours and still haven’t done shit I dodge but somehow still get hit the other bosses before him were good but this one is just stupid

He is easy just be agressive and keep close distant to him.

first try...thank you!

This boss is easy,killed him at second try.
