Huge tip: once you reduce their ki to zero, use a multi hitting yokai ability to put him quickly into a grapple state. Umube (crying bird lady) destroys maximum ki very quickly, the 4 armed sword yokai does damage and very good ki damage, and that annoying spinning wind weasel. Again, use them after he hits zero ki to quickly destroy his maximum ki, which then puts him into a grapple state. Do note that all yokai gain back a good portion of maximum ki after summoning the dark realm.
This is a great tip! I had a tough time playing cat and mouse with Otake's Ki meter but it forced me to understand the ins and outs of Ki breaking; unfortunately I didn't learn that until the very end of the game haha, knowing this I probably would have had a much easier time in my first playthrough. I'll be sure to keep your tip in mind when I go through way of the strong
Feral Form (Twin Blades) ⚔️ Move backwards, boss will jump attack 0:20 Since you are moving backwards, he will miss. This gives a good opening. Do not dodge, he will be right in front of you. Get 1-2 hits, then dodge around him. His next move might be a combo. If he doesn't jump, he will red attack 1:02 Just yokai counter. Get 2-3 hits, then dodge around him. Use yokai counter if you need more distance, or to get out of his combo. Dodge, then yokai counter. You will be vulnerable after the counter. 2nd Form & Final Form (Lightning Blade) ⚡️ His lightning blade looks different than his fire or ice blade 2:37 Remember this. Record footage on your PS4, then spot the different shapes of his ⚡️🔥❄️ blades. Boss will raise ⚡️ blade to the sky, then throw it for an area blast 3:25 Dodge forward, then yokai counter forward quickly to avoid. Get 1 hit, then back off. Watch for him raising ⚡️ blade. It happens very quickly. (Twirling blades) 🌀 Position yourself to always have space to run backwards. Never let him back you into a corner. As soon as his twirling blades go above him, run away 4:45 When he red attacks with twirling blade, back off. Then count. 1 - Boss hits right 2 - Then hits left 3 - Spins blade around his body 4 - Then tosses toward you. Yokai counter this. Get 2-3 hits, back off. Do not get greedy, he has plenty of openings. Make sure you have over 50% stamina before attacking. These boss attacks gave me problems, but if you're patient you can beat him. I was LVL 100 with Twin Blades and Spear. No special build, but I was lightweight armor.😊
I really appreciate all your boss guides man, they helped me out tremendously. I have a question though. My main is a Spear and my secondary is dual swords. I used the swords only a little before completely using the spear the entire game. Now I want to get the Mystic Art for the Dual Swords. What are some of the best skills to get for dual swords while working to get 120,000 proficiency ?
The 3 Key skills to get is God Wind - Main combo Minds Eye - Massive Attack Boost Cross Slash - For high damage when enemies are downed or for cheesing big/slow enemies
Yo bro nice vid! But can I ask u something is odachi and a dual sword a good combo??? They both scale with heart and strength so I feel scaling wise it should be good but I’m asking cuz I wanna use a odachi and a dual sword
Just played through it and got him first go pretty much no problems. I’ve done all side missions so was slightly above level but definitely not difficult in my opinion.
Hey. Just subbed to you today, but have been watching your video since a month ago, your walkthrough they are entertaining! finally i found a guy that know how to play, and have a calming voice and comments on the game. Currently i watch your sekiro playthrough while im playing it on the pc to trace youre steps, and it was a blast. my only complaint is that you dont touch much lore, but hey its fromsoft games, their lore are scattered. anyway, best wishes for your channel man, keep it up.
Haha, thanks for the compliments & support, Depol. As for talking about the lore of the games, I usually just let the experts take care of that department. I just stick to the strategies department :o)
Holmes over here making this fight look easy 😂 my God the feral kicked my butt. The one where he throws the blade in last form, dude did this move back to back on me. Got me the 2nd time. There's also this attack where he slides behind and then does this fire in a straight line. Pretty hard to dodge as well. That darn attack got me every time unless I did feral dodge
Took me 6 tries. I used stones to remain perpetually in yokai form for the final phase lol. The first three phases are easy until he starts doing that circle blade attack. I had a sword build with 47 heart that hit for 900 and a mish mash of Armor. I've no patience to create builds and stack set bonuses etc
@@PartStupid Depends, if you have an actual physical disability that hinders you then fair enough. If not, you can totally do it no matter who you are. it's just a matter of getting some muscle memory down at the start, in other words you just gotta get through the first couple hours without giving up.
@@Failzz8 - I feel you are missing the point. It is not that it would be physically impossible it is that it would be mental and emotional hell for someone like me to try. This is true for a lot of gamers who also have bad anxiety or other issues. Some people do not mind dying many times to finally win on the 100th try... to me that sounds like literal hell.
@@PartStupid Judging from your answer I think I'm spot on actually, there'd never be anything that's gonna take anywhere near 100 tries, unless you're doing a lvl 1 challenge or something. But if you're going in with a mentality like that it really WOULD be hell of course, for anyone, that has little to do with any anxiety issues.
I dont know about you guys but the previous bosses took me wayyy longer than this one, especially shibata katsuie. This one took me less than 10 tries. I use kusa/dex shinobi build but i rely mostly on thunderous hell feathers
Had little trouble with him on the story playthrough, probably I just used all I had when he entered final stage and bulldozed him. But these side missions and portrait scroll missions when he spawns in the last phase with full HP just kick my ass. The dual sword toss atack one shots me every time, even if I'm blocking...
@@thegamewin100 it was a bit under leveled to be honest but had it for the set bonus. Would have soul matched but need to save up for when all my gear is at 160. I beat him in the end. Just had to do the whole fight without getting hit haha
For some reason this was the easiest boss in the game for me -- I was surprised I beat him on the first try. The damn serpent boss almost had me quit the game. Edit: what I realized is I somehow got the phoenix wing switchglaive way before the last mission. This weapon helped me big time in the game and I can't recall where I got the smithing text. Sources online say Otakemaru drops it but not in my case.
I think each Player have à problem with an boss I think too because of style of playing Threre are Players who play range combat like one or two hits and run and trow projectiles and bombs knives... Threre are some Players whos plays as a tank they use heavy armor and axes and defense jitsus I think the true Players use meduim or Light armor and katana or odachi or spear or kusarigama and atack jitsus like carnage fire lightning speed of Tiger And fight like A true samurai à close combat never back down combos and combinations of skils For me i am à beginner but i only use atack buffs and go to close combats with every bastard boss somtimes i can consume the ki off the boss with combos and r1 and yokai ability espesialy the one leg yokai with his fucking hummer
For me the serpent boss is so easy The boss very Hard are: The owl with his eyes blast And azaiiiiiii 😭😭😭😭😭 the music And katsuie The human bosses are Hard too but if you can conter The conter attack is very helpful against human bosses
Very disappointing final boss all over. Team Ninja didn´t even give him an own level, you had to run through the half of another one. And the fight itself was laughable. I nearly got him on first try. With a tiny bit of his live bar left he killed me with his ultimate burst attack, because I became too greedy. On second try I had zero problems. The last side mission was a big letdown too. Tons of Yokai to kill until you fight the SAME boss in the SAME area like in another side mission before. WTF? Luckily I have Platinum now and can close the chapter "Nioh 2".

That last stage really does it to me, especially that grab.
me: buffs up attack and defense and purifys weapon, does a flashy 15 hit combo
Otakemaru: trashes me in two hits.
That last spinning thanos sword bs got me searching for this guide.. Thanks!
It worked, i just run away when he started using that spinning sword.. I'm done, NG+ here i come!
LOL.
I'm glad to be of help!

I used the wheel of the cat-lady with good results on him. Safe engage distance with multi-hit.
Honestly you're saying is the most 1000% Correct things, what you say is really true. Thank you for your HONEST highlights 💜😃😃😃👍
It's kinda interesting that your strongest ability is your greatest enemy
Use purification talisman on weapon. It enchants your weapon to do ki damage on yokai
Feral Form (Twin Blades) ⚔️
Move backwards, boss will jump attack 0:20 Since you are moving backwards, he will miss.
This gives a good opening. Do not dodge, he will be right in front of you.
Get 1-2 hits, then dodge around him. His next move might be a combo.
If he doesn't jump, he will red attack 1:02
Just yokai counter.
Get 2-3 hits, then dodge around him.
Use yokai counter if you need more distance, or to get out of his combo.
Dodge, then yokai counter.
You will be vulnerable after the counter.
2nd Form & Final Form (Lightning Blade) ⚡️
His lightning blade looks different than his fire or ice blade 2:37
Remember this.
Record footage on your PS4, then spot the different shapes of his ⚡️🔥❄️ blades.
Boss will raise ⚡️ blade to the sky, then throw it for an area blast 3:25
Dodge forward, then yokai counter forward quickly to avoid.
Get 1 hit, then back off.
Watch for him raising ⚡️ blade.
It happens very quickly.
(Twirling blades) 🌀
Position yourself to always have space to run backwards.
Never let him back you into a corner.
As soon as his twirling blades go above him, run away 4:45
When he red attacks with twirling blade, back off. Then count.
1 - Boss hits right
2 - Then hits left
3 - Spins blade around his body
4 - Then tosses toward you. Yokai counter this.
Get 2-3 hits, back off.
Do not get greedy, he has plenty of openings.
Make sure you have over 50% stamina before attacking.
These boss attacks gave me problems, but if you're patient you can beat him.
I was LVL 100 with Twin Blades and Spear.
No special build, but I was lightweight armor.😊
I finally beat the game today. I ended up using heavy armor and an axe for both games and now I never want to touch this franchise ever again.

This boss is absolutely no-fun to fight, all broken as hell
He gets a lot easier if you get really close and low stance it for the entire last phase. Watch out for fire ball when up close.
It's super easy.
Well, he's one of the 3 strongest Yokai in folklore, so it makes sense that he'd be broken.
Just played through it and got him first go pretty much no problems. I’ve done all side missions so was slightly above level but definitely not difficult in my opinion.
Dammit man every time i nearly get him and on the last phase he either does the ice daggers or that rain bullshit
HOW TF YOU DEAL HIM THAT MUCH DAMAGE, I DEAL LIKE 30
What?! 30 is way too low. Maybe you are still low level. Something is wrong

First comment ❤️ love you bro
Is a build video coming soon?
I used the yoki slayer set with the punching weapon and took me 6 attempts
@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 - What's that dual-blades buff icon you have - seems to proc on basic hit?
If you're talking about the red one its from ki pluse. If it's the blue sword one that's based on well timed dodge.
Mystic art. Every time you land a attack for the dual blades the next attack uses less ki. The counter version of that is gaining defense with hits.
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 Thanks man! I had some difficulty beating him last night I did some grinding and upgrading and beat Otakemaru just now!
You guys are insane for playing this... but mad respect for those who are able to.
It's not nearly as hard as it looks, for the most part at least
@@Failzz8 - It would be for me.

Shibate & Kashin for me are annoying. But for this one.I will soon find out.
Fought this guy for a total of about 7 hours over the course of 3 days... finally beat him. I used a lot of poison and had a npc assist.
Amazingly I beat him first go. Thought there was going to be a second phase.
Could’ve gotten him the first time if not for that spinning blade one shot he did at the final stage
Nioh 2 has some crazy one shot moves
you are awesome man make this last boss super easy ...... you know how to play ,peace
Thanks, S0me1. :o)
I wonder if the monkey could kill him by himself. Just need to stay alive and not take any hit.
All u need to do is run as fast as u can. This boss is easy
Can you co-op this mission ? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure.. I've only played Nioh 2 solo. (Sorry!)
Had little trouble with him on the story playthrough, probably I just used all I had when he entered final stage and bulldozed him.
But these side missions and portrait scroll missions when he spawns in the last phase with full HP just kick my ass.
The dual sword toss atack one shots me every time, even if I'm blocking...
How the hell do you break his stamina that fast??
Roundhouse kick :o)
@@xHolmesWalkthroughsx7 OMG you ledge, I literally just beat the boss. And my skill rating isn't even that high.
Cinder nioh style
what armour do you have on
the regular shinobi set
Most of these attacks one-shot me :( probably serves me right for reaching level 110 without putting any points into health I suppose
matthew almond if you have decent armor you can tank most of his attacks
@@thegamewin100 it was a bit under leveled to be honest but had it for the set bonus. Would have soul matched but need to save up for when all my gear is at 160. I beat him in the end. Just had to do the whole fight without getting hit haha
What mission it that boss in
Last main mission.
For some reason this was the easiest boss in the game for me -- I was surprised I beat him on the first try. The damn serpent boss almost had me quit the game.

Funny because I got the serpent boss on the first try and got stuck ~2 hours on this one 😅
I think each Player have à problem with an boss
I think too because of style of playing
Threre are Players who play range combat like one or two hits and run and trow projectiles and bombs knives...
Threre are some Players whos plays as a tank they use heavy armor and axes and defense jitsus
I think the true Players use meduim or Light armor and katana or odachi or spear or kusarigama and atack jitsus like carnage fire lightning speed of Tiger
And fight like A true samurai à close combat never back down combos and combinations of skils
For me i am à beginner but i only use atack buffs and go to close combats with every bastard boss somtimes i can consume the ki off the boss with combos and r1 and yokai ability espesialy the one leg yokai with his fucking hummer
For me the serpent boss is so easy
The boss very Hard are:
The owl with his eyes blast
And azaiiiiiii 😭😭😭😭😭 the music
And katsuie
The human bosses are Hard too but if you can conter
The conter attack is very helpful against human bosses
All i did was throw knives at him and won first try
Hopefully that works for me as well.
I'm so fucking done with this game. What a waste of money. Will never play it again
Skill issue
@@1eye1tear95 Okay douchebag
This is the easiest boss fight in the game and thank God cause some of them are pretty insane.
