Phase 1: shoot down small tentacles with cannon and kill them. Then use Yatsu-no-kami straight into the main tentacle’s eye. Should do about 50% damage!

Repeat in phase 2 except once you run out of cannon ammo, take small tentacles down with burst counters, normal hits and yokai shift. Then yatsu-no-kami the fallen eye again and it should die.

Annoying boss and worst in this game, but this way it’s no big deal. Rejuvenation talismans can help.

The guide section says the limbs will drop when they run out of Ki, which is wrong. They don't use Ki but Anima.
By the way: **** boss fight. No one can argue against that.

By far the worst Nioh 2 Boss. Pure garbage ...

Relatively easy to cheese with ranged weapon spam, target her main eye and the large tentacles that hang overhead and to the back. Explosive arrows deal high ki/anima damage as well as proccing an ignite, reliable way of breaking her so you can gouge her eye out.

Worst boss in the entire game!!! Maybe if you weren't hit by other tentacles. Or if you didn't need to re-fight a bunch of reused bosses to reach her it would be OK. As it is this is annoying and extremely frustrating. Weapon choice seems key too. Short range melee is stupid hard :-/

Spammed God of Wind on small tentacles to deplete their Ki and Water Sword to finish them off after, and Water Sword again when big tentacle is out of Ki, took only 3 tries.

How are you supposed to deal with her non stop spam? I can't finish a single combo without taking damage. Often from multiple sources at once.

in her first phase its pretty trivial,just stand under one tencacle and dodge attack from others via sound (she gigles when she uses her main attacks),BC when needed and block the spin,in second phase if you have good cannon you can literally 1-2 tap her eyes without even a ranged-main build,do note you need to read her patterns well to not get statuses as cannon is quite slow

Got the Yin Yang tonfa text from her.
