And to think that Malenia features a much easier boss fight, compared to this disgusting mf lol

Dude who wrote the boss guide forgot he came back to a lvl 65 mission with a level 200 character

reading this comment section just made me feel so much better; this guy is really poorly designed. He is fun to fight until he goes into yokai shift, the phantom mode is just ridiculous, one shots me with 2k HP if I don't block the first hit.

I try fighting him "normally" and he'll just dodge out of any combo you do. You're not allowed to do any follow-up attack after he dodges or else he might do an attack that can power-armor through your own. Best stick to cheese methods that don't even let him attack at all he's such BS.

so how to make a boss hard

give him more or less infinite talismans.....let him cast spells in a second.....have him able to combo out of any missed attack or block....allow him to expel yokai mist....and give him an attack that you can't stagger him out of

screw this fight

Yeah just **** this guy way to tanky and way too fast

How much ****ing HP this guy has, hit him hundred times and he barely drops below half hp.

Buff yourself, bring on a cat and start the fight with a headshot. Use yokai water pots to deplete his ki faster.

This guy is a real piece of work. Let me spell you and slice you to death over and over. He has a counter for everything. It's ludicrous that he can just cast and cast and cast and slice and slice without any consequences.
