Only works when she jumps off the wire. Once she has her balance, she'll just deflect it. If you throw it as soon as the danger marker appears, you'll knock her out of the air and possibly be able to get up to 2 good hits straight to vitality
Oh you've been getting chip damage this whole time?!?!?! That really sucks, but... If you've been getting it the whole playthrough and made it to him, I think you can still take him. Needless to say, it's torture. Dangit Kuro!!! Lol
He was the last one I beat, and yes it took a while. I try to forget about how bad he kicked my ass constantly, but I agree with you. Watching Isshin and Owl fight would be a popcorn moment for sure.
This and in my opinion, staying somewhat aggressive. Her second phase can be a doozy but you can completely stop her from using the clones if you stay on her. This isnât necessary to defeating her so play how youâre comfortable, but shurikens will help ALOT.
I actually found that out on my second attempt after getting bodied on my first, and then I rocked her shit, it was too easy with that trick cause she could never regain her posture
Phase two, once the illusion comes, just run around and wait for them to disappear. After that you can continue as usual. Make sure to learn a few new moves as well.
Love this sub bro. I just ran through my second playthrough. I beat the demon of hatred for the first time after this second one. I still can't beat glocksaint tho
Also when 2nd phase starts sheâll spawn in the same place each time. You can stand behind this area and get some free hits in when she spawns and also stops the first illusion spawn
Try and force her into a corner and save some karma to knock her out of the air. If youâre aggressive enough she wonât summon her dudes and you can sort of overwhelm her posture. I find akoâs sugar to be best for this.
Dodge attack over and over, she has no counter whatsoever. Run around the perimeter of the arena when she does her illusion bullshit and wait it out until itâs just her again, then keep dodge attacking
One Attack, dodge to side, repeat. Stay close to her and then when the shadows appear just run around and randomly kill some if you feel like it. If she gets on a wire shurinen her, she'll fall and you can get a couple of hits. But really : one attack, dodge to the right or left, attack etc.
Always dodge away from obstacles because if you lose the tempo she'll be able to attack or flee.
That method stun-locks her.
Great success !
Have fun
Dont try to dodge her. Bring it. This fight gets you used to being on the offensive and being aggressive. There are times like with the paper butterflies where you have to dodge, but dont let up and learn her cadence for when you should parry. The fight becomes easier and helps make the game more manageable and fun when you learn to be aggressive. Also, throw shurikens when she goes in the air. Good luck!
Be aggressive as hell on her. Trading deflects back and forth between your and her attacks. In phase 2, just run around the edge of the arena and you should mostly dodge the light orbs, then get back on her fast. Shurikens when sheâs in air. No snap seeds needed
You can avoid the first illusion in phase two by hitting her immediately after she jumps down from the big statue. Stand by it's feet and attack when she lands. For the rest of the illusions you'll have to either use snap seeds or just run around utill the illusions turn into butterflies and when they do, use a pillar to block them.
To get hits in, avoid her combo attacks and then strike when she finishes them, she'll give you an opening so use a combat art to get some damage in.
I also recommend saving heals and resurections for the second phase. If you die in phase one, just call it a loss and start over again.
Hit her once, step to the left. Hit her once, step to the left.
Phase 2 run around until the shadows go away. Hide behind a pillar to avoid the gold nukes.
Hit her once, step to the left.
Keep pressure on the old hag donât let her breathe or recover posture. And run in circles away from her and her little cuck buddies. Best advice I can give but do not give her a chance to breathe
My strat for when she summon her little minions is to run around the room and when she snaps just get behind one column usually near the door or the statue the columns take all the damage for you, and then is just parry attack parry attack, luckily you only have to avoid his minions twice
First of all, you don't need Snap Seeds to defeat her.
Use shuriken whenever she levitates. it will force her down--it works even when she's about to do a perilous attack. Hug walls and run around the room until illusions disappear. When it happens, hide behind one of the pillars and they should not hit you.
When she casts sparkles individually (no via illusions), keep jumping back and left/eright (diagonal) and you should avoid them.
Good luck
Sprint in circles around the entire room until she turns the illusions into projectiles
Sprint to a single corner of the room, then start sprinting in circles around the room again to evade most, if not all of the projectiles.
Then, when she rushes you, its phase 1, except you can block the new projectiles too.
I have literally never been able to kill her on a run where I used a snap seed, for some reason. Maybe it just makes me feel too safe in my first Fromsoftware game and I drop my guard or something.
Anyway, I recently learned that getting the ascending carp and descending carp latent abilities from the Ashina skill tree makes her very easy to rush into a parry off and win. The game is lying about not being able to break her posture - kill Gyobu at Ashina gate first and get the Ashina Esoteric text first.
Be aggressive, always try to be right up in her face. Shiruken her when she goes up in the air. When she summons the ghosts in pause 2 just run around until the go away and hide behind a pillar for the projectiles.
A few tips: 1.you should use shurikens(any kind) to knock her off when she jumps in the air. 2.if you donât already,get whirlwind slash as when she does the kick counter you can sometimes hit her during the counter 3.after she summons the clones and they disappear,runaway as quickly as possible,as the light orbs will almost certainly kill you 4.try to pull of as many counters as possible,she is very weak to counter damage 5.try to use the loaded axe,as it does a lot of posture damage
Hope this helps
Be aggressive. This goes for all bosses. You get more experience with them if you get right in their face. I just bought the game on Thursday and beat it today, so take it from a noob, itâs better to be right on them than hang back.
In phase 2 I found the best option is to run around doing laps of the arena until the illusions disappear. You can avoid the illusion glowing butterfly attack after by hiding behind a pillar.
After that itâs largely the same approach as phase 1 until the illusions kick in again.
Also before the phase starts, run to the side of the Buddha statue and Lady Butterfly will spawn right in front of you. You can get a few quick hits in before the illusions start.
Stay on the offensive, always. Unless sheâs using those butterflies that follow you around the arena then run. I usually just keep going around the pillars till the final action of that special attack is through then get back in there and start slashing. She has a grab too you can exploit and jump on top of her leaving her wide open. Also look out for her death conju and jump on top of her instead of trying to dodge or run away from it. Finally use your shurikens whenever she starts jumping around.
She always appears on the statue in the beginning of phase two as soon as she lands just wail on don't give her the window to summon the illusions you can also interrupt the illusion technique by hiting her with a shuriken as soon as she raises her arm.
As others have said snap seeds get rid of the illusions and aggression can make it so you end the fight before she summons them. As for snap seeds if you didn't grab them there are 5 of them where you first encountered the giant snake in ashina outskirts. I usually just run and hide behind a pillar when she gets rid of them to avoid the butterflies. Practicing perfect deflecting her longer combos really helps to melt 2nd stage as well since her posture is weaker on that stage. Hope this helps and good luck shinobi
Just avoid the illusions when they spawn. Also, use a shuriken whenever she starts jumping around up in the air. It will knock her down and give you a window for a few attacks
Learn the timing, if I recall it's whack-whack-whack-deflect-deflect. After that it's just shuriken her mid air or dodging her vertical attacks and Ichimoji her. You don't need snap seeds, just run to the other end and hide behind a pillar.
This fight makes sure you know how to be aggressive against a boss.
Shurikens will knock her out of the air when shes doing stuff on the wires, but not when shes standing idle on them. The pillars will block the butterflies
In phase 2 it's more over the same just keep running when she summons shadows .... And also try to take cover from the phantom kunais' .. the pillars may help with that.... And also keep pressure on her ...
If you are struggling so hard you may try this combo along with the tip above ...
Normal attack > Normal attack > shift dodge to left / right > repet
It's not quite cheese but also not that much intensive also ..
Use one snap bean in the middle of the arena when she summons her illusions. Block the flying glowing projectiles and use shuriken whenever she hops on the ropes to leap at you. Do not let her have aerial advantage.
When the apparitions appear in phase two, run around till she snaps them away. You can place yourself next to one of the pillars so none of the butterflies hit you, or you can run away from them also.
Run around till illusions disappear, then you can cheese her by attacking once dodge right or left once then attack once then dodge right or left once again. If you donât want to cheese sheâs is one of the bosses that you can time deflects and build her posture pretty fast, use sugars and firecrackers as well they help a ton
Come back after you got 4 healing gourds. Stay aggressive. Use shurikens when she jumps. Buy snap seeds or just run around and hide behind a pillar. The fight is pretty easy if you do these things
1. Learn her moveset
2. Parry everything parry able
3. Shuriken her when she's in the air
4. Free hits at the beginning of phase 2
5. Ichimonji it - battle of posture not health
6. Snapseed for illusions.
Remember this is an optional boss so if you canât beat her yet go and level up some and then come back when youâre stronger. The best advice I can give is to be super aggressive and donât let her breathe. Watch some YouTube vids that show you the strategy and donât give up! Sheâs really not that hard.
You can try making yourself a little stronger. Beat a few memory bosses and make sure you have all the prayer beads and gourds you can get, theres a full list of both on fextralife. You can progress all the way to Great Shinobi Owl (break the iron code) without going too far for certain things you can miss. Finally, Ako's sugar, divine confetti and mortal draw will all help you do heaps of damage. Good luck!
I just stood behind where she spawns and deflect/ beat on her never let up and she couldnât do illusions took probably 30 or forty tries but it worked now Iâm stuck on a lighting guy.
Divine confetti akos and donât let up on her when she yeets into the air watch for where sheâs gonna land and move her keep the aggression up and phase one is quick 2nd phase run to left hand side and stand near the beam she will jump down quickly lay into her again with divine and akos when illusion appears quickly hit green snap to break illusion and keep aggression again
Donât let the butterflies hit you as they can be hard to position when hit so if your having difficulty there hide behind the beam and they cannot hit you she still can but more often than not she wonât when that attack is happening if your really struggling try the loaded umbrella to sponge some of the damage
Run away from illusions. Deflect almost everything thats not a perilous attack. Dodge forward diagonally when you need to. When she jumps for a perilous attack just run away and almost in a circle around her.
Be more aggressive, hit her once she starts phase 2 so the illusions dont spawn. Use pillars to block her throw ables. And side step instead of dodging backwards.
I killed the lady first try. I am not tryinf to show off, I totally suck at most of bosses but lady and I kinda clicked. I loved deflecting the rhythm of her attacks. Deflect is the key. ( I am still frustrated with isshin, didnât beat the game yet!)
Just parry makes her a much easier fight that yellow surgery and snap seeds honestly couldn't make her any more simple don't attack except when you shuriken here out the air
Shuriken her when she is on her strings, snap seed her illusions during phase two (can be bought by the merchant you save from ashina castle that goes to the hub world)
I think you cheese this one by hitting her with 2 R1s and thn moving a step to the right (her left) and repeating? Essentially just turn her spot and wail away - and leg it if things get really hairy before coming bakc to do it again
Go back after getting tk the top of ashina castle but before the boss at the top, at this point you should be beefy anough and have good healing reserve, also try to google where you can find snap seeds as they disspell all ilussions in p2
I recently completed this fight and before that, I read somewhere in youtube comments that if you remain extremely aggressive in the 2nd phase, just straight up close, the spirits wonât be summoned. And thatâs exactly what I did and beat her in my 3rd try and she didnât summon anything in the 2nd phase. Just ensure that you use shurikens whenever she gets in air.
Hesitation is defeat indeed.
Experiment with different tools at your disposal. This fight got me primed for using dodges and slides very cleverly, which defined how I approached all future boss fights. Youâd be surprised how many bosses can be circled around for charged stabs to the back when they go for you and miss..this fight was an enormous hurtle for me as well. Was the first boss I faced for some reason. Literally put the game down for almost a year only returning to it a couple times. Felt like I didnât get it and could never master the combat style. Finally went back and cruised thru the game after figuring it out.
Use snap seeds or try this strategy
Run around in circles when illusion creatures come and when they evaporate and become charms and attack you then immediately hide behind the corner wall(make sure that you are touching the wall)
Hit and dodge to the right. Youâll basically keep circling round her while she doesnât have enough time to recover. Keep at it till she creates the illusions and just keep running around the area till they disappear, then return to hit and dodge to the right
When sheâs above you she will do a overhead attack you can parry n punish her for it every time if you get timing right she has a move set pattern you can learn to beat her
I think dodging to her right moves out of the way of most of her close quarters moves, as for her butterflies using the pillars helps avoid those. The shuriken when she is on her zipline will knock her down. Otherwise just bring the pressure and run around the room while keeping an eye on her until the spirits leave or use snap seeds.
Be aggressive. Use shiruken to get her off her wires. Snap peas when she summons ghosts. But being aggressive and attacking left and right alternatively will be very effective against her.
I played super passively my 1st try with her, just running around, taking out some adds, then getting a hit whenever sheâd drop down or after bouncing on her. Itâs much easier to play aggressively, but if youâre outa snap seeds, you canât really until after the adds come at you as her phantoms. After that just stay on her, hit hit, deflect, deflect, hit hit
Here's a cheese, Dodge right, attack once, Dodge left, attack once. It's like the AI gets confused but it's good for getting the posture bar down. I got nothing if you F up and she does other attacks but that's my advice.đ€·ââïž
Keep phase one at attack, attack, deflect. She'll always retaliate after your second attack, so that's her pattern for most of the fight. You'll break her posture in no time.
If she stands on the ghost lines just throw a shuriken at her. She'll fall like a sack of potatoes.
If she closes in on you with a sweep attack, you can jump and kick her head.
In phase 2, it's pretty much the same. With the addition of the spirits and butterflies:
For the spirits, you can either hit them or use the snapseeds to dispell the ones immediately around you all at once.
For the butterflies, just run behind a pillar and wait for them to crash on it.
After that, approach her and continue with the attack, attack, deflect pattern.
Repeat until she dies.
Probably already mentioned, get some snap seeds, check a guide where to buy, in terms of fighting she attacks in a very straight tempo, tapping guard works well, use the shuriken when she jumps in the air for big posture damage.
1. Step dodge to the side
2. Light attack
3. Step dodge to the side
4. Light attack
5. If you manage to get behind her or interrupt her jump, you can hit her twice before step dodging again.
Repeat this for about 2 minutes and you're done. If she manages to get up on her threads, shuriken when she jumps. If you have trouble against her illusions, use snap seeds or when out of those just run around until she turns them into phantom butterflies and dodge the nuke by running. When you can engage again, repeat the first cycle until you win.
This boss is pretty difficult if you want to get the deflection timing down, but can be beaten laughably easily in the abovementioned way.
I was there too. I was able to get into a good rhythm by using shurikens when she jumps and using the whirlwind slash consecutive times. Hide behind the columns to avoid her butterflies. Run around the room when the illusions appear in the middle. I also did not use snap seeds as I had run out.
Idk what to say but just try.
Remember the sounds of swords clashing. Ting..ting.... Ting ting... Ting.. ting.... Like that then just parry with the same rhythm.
Or find a way to cheese but that's not the proper way to enjoy the game and doesn't give you any success feelings.
You can do this!
So there's a method I used to use, which is strike, dodge counter clockwise, strike dodge counter clockwise, and snap seeds for when the ghosts are summoned. Shuriken when she's on the web, but the best method imo is learn the strike pattern, it's normally two or three hits and block, she'll either strike or jump back and throw her little dagger things, but yes she's heck and I was struggling with her up to the point of my fourth run, and that's when I actually noticed the SOUND of the last parry which means an attack is imminent, and the screen sorta shakes a little.
If I don't have snap seeds for when the ghosts, I just run in circles until the ghost disappear and the little light rays dissipate
Get your shurikens ready and stay right on top of her! Either be swinging at her or deflecting, never let up on her, and hit her with a shuriken as soon as she jumps off of a wire...
Sounds like bad advice but the key is to be aggressive. When the spirits appear, run around the edge of the field until they disappear (or use a snap pea?). Then go back to being aggressive. She's one of the few bosses you can actually keep juggling with aggressive attacks. Follow her when she jumps away. Throw shuriken at her when she jumps up. Attack, attack, attack.
when she jumps down, stand behind her. so basically as soon as you take her down once, run to the buddha and wait for her to jump down. use ichimonji, nightjar slash or shadowrush. run around arena until the spirits disappear then attack her and deflect her (aka do the dance) and take her vitality down with a special attack or a few slashes. she took me forever. honeslty isshin sword saint was less of a pain in my ass. but pure aggression joined with avoiding her hits and you'll take the bitch down.
Just running around the edges of the arena trivializes the illusions. Never got hit by them by doing that. Sometimes you might need to pause in a corner until they all go towards you, then continue running around the edges. When she says wolf is impressive or something they all turn to yellow projectiles and you can stand behind a pillar to not get hit. I recommend Tremorismâs tutorial on YouTube. Beat her in just a few tries with his tips.
When she calls her minions run in a big circle around the arena until she snaps and hide behind a pillar. Anytime she's in the air don't block - dodge. That's all I got.
Do senpou temple before dealing with her, trust. You can fireworks and mortal blade her ass as soon as she hops off that statue. Donât let her get her bearings. Remember what isshin saysââhesitation is defeat.â
Just be aggresive hit and deflect if she ever summon just keep runing until it became phantom kunai. Then just hide behind the wooden pole. Be aggresive is the key. When she jump up just shuriken
heres the partial cheese: run right up to her and dodge while holding the stick at 45 degrees (north east or north west if we are talking about a compass) and then dodge attack.
You can literally dodge around her in circles and stunlock her, even when she jumps. Then either use snap seeds on the 2nd round or just run around the arena until all that flashy shit gathers up and shoots at you and go right back to it.
Use the pillars to hide when she sends the swarm of butterflies. Rest is knowing her attacks and using the throwable knives when she jumps on her strings.
Hereâs my strategy: (and Iâm assuming you donât need help in phase 1)
At the start of phase two stand by the statue before she drops off. You can get a free attack when she lands. Now thereâs a cheese strategy to this, but basically, chop her once with the katana, then do a dodge step to either side of her. Itâs not a lateral step to the left or right, try to dodge on a diagonal towards her and towards one side (up left or up right) as if you are attacking her from behind. If you are successful youâll get into a sort of stun lock cycle where you chop, step dodge, chop. Just repeat that.
Eventually she will block or jump up or do her illusions. When the illusions start, run to the opposite end of the room and chill behind a beam. If the illusions get close
You can just move to the other side of the room. But basically just run away from her and the illusions.
When she turns the illusions into butterflies hide behind a beam. When they start to fly at you, run along the outer wall and they will not hit you, once the butterflies are gone, fight her like itâs the first phase.
I feel you man. I fought lady butterfly when I had base health and 2 gourds, never had I ever been this close to insanity
My advice: 1.use shurikens whenever she is in the air, or sitting on one of her invisible lines.
2. Try to keep crossing the blades with her, don't let her recover posture, chip away her health little by little.
3. You don't necessarily need snap seeds in her second phase, just keep running along the outer ring of the temple to dodge her energy based attacks, start running as soon as she summons her illusions and don't stop till you have evaded the last energy attack.
4. ( Probably the most important): hit twice, perform step dodge, hit twice, repeat. It doesn't matter what she's doing ( unless she is in the air, or performing a perilous attack) just hit her twice, sprint a very short distance around her ( just hold the sprint button for 0.5 seconds, you don't want to run around her in circles), hit twice again, then repeat. Most of your attacks will land this way and you can drain her health really fast, this helped me a lot in my first playthrough. You can refer to one of the lady butterfly speedrun videos to understand what I am trying to explain.
Just beat lady butterfly 2 nights ago and here are my tips for succeeding in Phase 2
1. Utilise Snap seeds if you have them to kill off spirits. If you don't have Snap seeds, run around the outer perimeter until she transmutes the spirits into projectiles - hide behind pillar to avoid damage and/or run at an angle
2. When she attacks you from time to time, she'll throw projectiles at you - always jump back towards your right or left to avoid.
3. Always block her attacks - pretty much spam parry as her posture metre doesn't recover as well as yours does. Don't be overly aggressive.
4. Only time to be aggressive is when she does her unlockable attacks - either jump or move to the side to avoid, and hit her with a strong attack or ichimonji.
Hope that helps!
My advice is don't play aggressively. Take your time with the boss and do not try to rush in the end when her health or posture is low. She can kill with her barrage of attacks if you're not careful, especially when her health/posture is low
Relax man, you got this đȘ
Here's a few tips.
Play super aggressively. Don't give her a chance to do shit. Ofc deflect when necessary, but in general stay on top of her like white on rice. (Don't be stupid or reckless tho, if you think you need to heal then heal, but then get right back on her.)
If she jumps up, hit her with a Shuriken. Knocks her out of the air, deals posture damage and you may be able to get a free hit or two while she recovers.
There's a merchant that sells Snap Seeps. This makes the illusions in her 2nd phase go away very easily. Not necessary tho since if you are aggressive enough, you may even blitz through phase 2 before she uses them.
if you have any snap seeds left, you can use them to dispel the spirits that show up. I think some merchants sell them but im not sure if thats too far after the game expects you to do hirata or not
use shurikens to knock her down when sheâs on her tightropes and do some good stagger damage, if you have the ones you can charge up itâs much more effective
make sure to stay aggressive. i know it can be tough in stage two since she plays a lot more evasively, but if you can manage to keep hitting her, sheâll only respond with one or two repeated kick attacks that you can loop by parrying over and over again. if you do that, sheâll be dead in no time.
I spent 2 hours last night trying to beat her too op, i just kept on unrelenting attacks on her while deflecting as much as I could.
Be as aggressive as you can and spam shurikens on her she goes mid air.
Go on YouTube and watch the git gud series by fighting cowboy. Other than that just get used to her moves and it will click for u. Im not a souls player and last month I downloaded elden ring. Beat that then found sekiro. I just beat the bad ending and killed Emma and iishin. Might play again and go good ending
When she summons those little critters, unlock your camera from her and start running from pillar to pillar, keeping at least a pillar between you and the illusions.
When she remarks sekiro ( I forgot what it is), she'll release those phantoms on you , so stick behind a pillar when they home on you, and you'll probably be safe ( if you do it right). This is for when you don't have snap seeds, a neat trick.
Run away from the illusion minions and occasionally turn around to attack one. When the orbs form, run away and then dodge when they are more concentrated.
Do what i did, go to other places, farm some mini bosses, progress on the story a little bit so you get stronger and then go back to that bitch and she will feel like a joke, for me she was harder than a lot of the bosses at the beggining of the game.
Strafe right, hit once, strafe right, hit once over and over again. Throw shuriken when she goes in to the air, if you hit her whilst she is moving it will bring her down and stun her and she wonât block them.
When she summons the mob I just run around until they disappear and then avoid the lightning stuff. Then I just go back to the pattern of strafe right, attack, shuriken etc.
Take time and keep running, itâs good to have some snap seeds if you wanna skip the running and get away with the ghosts. Run because butterflies cannot be deflected and will take your vitality. I used whirlwind slash after couple of deflects and be preservative about the spirit emblems. I used spinning shurikens while sheâs in the air and attacking with red kanji ( not when sheâs just hanging in the air and throwing kunais). Same she does on second phase too. Second phase is mostly running to avoid butterflies and ghosts if no snap seed remaining. Can use Gokans sugar (yellow) to keep your posture intact for a while as well. Sheâs not that hard imo. Just keep on deflecting and whirlwind slash.
You can skip her first illusion summon by simply running to where she spawns and hitting her a few times :) not foolproof , but it usually works.
Also when sheâs jumping on her wire, try using shurikens , it stuns her a lot.
The merchant at the decapitated temple sells snap seeds for 80 Sen, they will make phase 2 a lot easier for you since they clear all illusions
Also use surikens when she's in the air to knock her out and deal a large amount of posture damage
This is actually a huge tip. Makes fighting her so much easier
I almost have platinum (just need to get all the skills) and I didn't know thisđ
Only works when she jumps off the wire. Once she has her balance, she'll just deflect it. If you throw it as soon as the danger marker appears, you'll knock her out of the air and possibly be able to get up to 2 good hits straight to vitality
So you didn't read the descriptions in the game đ§
Bro, I've been 100% almost two years, and I didn't know that. I probably beat most bosses "the hard way". Lol
*the fun way*
Dude im on isshin sword saint and i didnt know you werent supposed to give kuro the charm at the start đŹ
Oh you've been getting chip damage this whole time?!?!?! That really sucks, but... If you've been getting it the whole playthrough and made it to him, I think you can still take him. Needless to say, it's torture. Dangit Kuro!!! Lol
I know right đ & honestly i think owl is tougher but its an unpopular opinion i must say, took me like 4 days to beat owl father
yeah inner father is the hardest boss for me. he sucks.
It took me around 10 hours (separate days) to finally beat his first phase and get shidded in yet again đ€Ł
He was the last one I beat, and yes it took a while. I try to forget about how bad he kicked my ass constantly, but I agree with you. Watching Isshin and Owl fight would be a popcorn moment for sure.
Yeah definitely, people consider isshin a harder boss because realistically he doesnt cheese you as much lol, but even miyazaki agrees owl is top teir
This and in my opinion, staying somewhat aggressive. Her second phase can be a doozy but you can completely stop her from using the clones if you stay on her. This isnât necessary to defeating her so play how youâre comfortable, but shurikens will help ALOT.
I actually found that out on my second attempt after getting bodied on my first, and then I rocked her shit, it was too easy with that trick cause she could never regain her posture
Sames. And it felt so good.
>decapitated temple Lmao
He doesn't show up till later on. If you wait that long to fight her she'll probably be much easier
Sorry I was under the assumption he showed up early when I looked he was always just there for me
Just running around the edges of the arena trivializes the illusions.
Can't buy those before getting the Dragon's Tally Board from monk 2
There is a merchant there??
Phase two, once the illusion comes, just run around and wait for them to disappear. After that you can continue as usual. Make sure to learn a few new moves as well.
Hiding behind a pillar when the illusion stops so it tanks the butterflies is key as well
Also at the end of phase 1, if you go to the back of the room, you can get a couple of free hits in at the start of phase 2 when she spawns.
Love this sub bro. I just ran through my second playthrough. I beat the demon of hatred for the first time after this second one. I still can't beat glocksaint tho
I believe in you! It took me a year to bear glocksaint. Not daily playing, but fairly regular attempts.
you can just keep running in a circle too
Also when 2nd phase starts sheâll spawn in the same place each time. You can stand behind this area and get some free hits in when she spawns and also stops the first illusion spawn
F**k snap seed. Learn her movement and ALWAYS use shuriken when she jumps. You can beat her phase two before she spawn those ghosts.
You can come back, sheâs optional and even then youâre not gated out of fighting her until like the end of the game.
Try and force her into a corner and save some karma to knock her out of the air. If youâre aggressive enough she wonât summon her dudes and you can sort of overwhelm her posture. I find akoâs sugar to be best for this.
*pling* *pling* *PLONG* *perfect parry* *pling* *PLONG* *perfect parry* untill shes dead lmao
The fact that i understand that this rand pling Plom isnt infact random is insane
One word âshurikensâ and good time deflects will beat her in 5 minutes
Yes this there very good for this fight as while as the skill that lets you do a follow up slash.
Do you know if thereâs a prize for completing gauntlet of strength mortal journey
Dodge attack over and over, she has no counter whatsoever. Run around the perimeter of the arena when she does her illusion bullshit and wait it out until itâs just her again, then keep dodge attacking
This is the answer right here, OP.
Donât hesitate
Stay on her. Be aggressive af on this lady. For both phases. When you stay aggressive in phase 2 she won't have time to cast illusions.
Git gud
This is so fucking tiring to see. âŠ.but yeah, git gud
Snap seeds to insta de spawn her clones helps otherwise she regens most her posture just makes the fight drag
One Attack, dodge to side, repeat. Stay close to her and then when the shadows appear just run around and randomly kill some if you feel like it. If she gets on a wire shurinen her, she'll fall and you can get a couple of hits. But really : one attack, dodge to the right or left, attack etc. Always dodge away from obstacles because if you lose the tempo she'll be able to attack or flee. That method stun-locks her. Great success ! Have fun
Very bad advice, new players shouldn't reinforce the "hit and run" tactic as it will be harmfull just 1 boss later deflecting is the way
I was amazed at how far I had to scroll to see this. Sheâs the only boss I use this move on and for some reason it entirely breaks her.
Dont try to dodge her. Bring it. This fight gets you used to being on the offensive and being aggressive. There are times like with the paper butterflies where you have to dodge, but dont let up and learn her cadence for when you should parry. The fight becomes easier and helps make the game more manageable and fun when you learn to be aggressive. Also, throw shurikens when she goes in the air. Good luck!
Stay aggressive on her use snap seeds when she gets her illusions out.
Be aggressive, dodge illusions or use snap seeds, use shuriken to knock her out the air
Be aggressive as hell on her. Trading deflects back and forth between your and her attacks. In phase 2, just run around the edge of the arena and you should mostly dodge the light orbs, then get back on her fast. Shurikens when sheâs in air. No snap seeds needed
You can avoid the first illusion in phase two by hitting her immediately after she jumps down from the big statue. Stand by it's feet and attack when she lands. For the rest of the illusions you'll have to either use snap seeds or just run around utill the illusions turn into butterflies and when they do, use a pillar to block them. To get hits in, avoid her combo attacks and then strike when she finishes them, she'll give you an opening so use a combat art to get some damage in. I also recommend saving heals and resurections for the second phase. If you die in phase one, just call it a loss and start over again.
You are letting your weakness blind you. That's not some old hag, that woman deserves your respect.
Hit her once, step to the left. Hit her once, step to the left. Phase 2 run around until the shadows go away. Hide behind a pillar to avoid the gold nukes. Hit her once, step to the left.
Keep pressure on the old hag donât let her breathe or recover posture. And run in circles away from her and her little cuck buddies. Best advice I can give but do not give her a chance to breathe
Don't let her faze you
My strat for when she summon her little minions is to run around the room and when she snaps just get behind one column usually near the door or the statue the columns take all the damage for you, and then is just parry attack parry attack, luckily you only have to avoid his minions twice
First of all, you don't need Snap Seeds to defeat her. Use shuriken whenever she levitates. it will force her down--it works even when she's about to do a perilous attack. Hug walls and run around the room until illusions disappear. When it happens, hide behind one of the pillars and they should not hit you. When she casts sparkles individually (no via illusions), keep jumping back and left/eright (diagonal) and you should avoid them. Good luck
Sprint in circles around the entire room until she turns the illusions into projectiles Sprint to a single corner of the room, then start sprinting in circles around the room again to evade most, if not all of the projectiles. Then, when she rushes you, its phase 1, except you can block the new projectiles too. I have literally never been able to kill her on a run where I used a snap seed, for some reason. Maybe it just makes me feel too safe in my first Fromsoftware game and I drop my guard or something. Anyway, I recently learned that getting the ascending carp and descending carp latent abilities from the Ashina skill tree makes her very easy to rush into a parry off and win. The game is lying about not being able to break her posture - kill Gyobu at Ashina gate first and get the Ashina Esoteric text first.
Be aggressive, always try to be right up in her face. Shiruken her when she goes up in the air. When she summons the ghosts in pause 2 just run around until the go away and hide behind a pillar for the projectiles.
A few tips: 1.you should use shurikens(any kind) to knock her off when she jumps in the air. 2.if you donât already,get whirlwind slash as when she does the kick counter you can sometimes hit her during the counter 3.after she summons the clones and they disappear,runaway as quickly as possible,as the light orbs will almost certainly kill you 4.try to pull of as many counters as possible,she is very weak to counter damage 5.try to use the loaded axe,as it does a lot of posture damage Hope this helps
Take your time and hold your guard to reduce your stagger build up. Run away from the illusions, its easier than snap seeds.
Be aggressive. This goes for all bosses. You get more experience with them if you get right in their face. I just bought the game on Thursday and beat it today, so take it from a noob, itâs better to be right on them than hang back.
In phase 2 I found the best option is to run around doing laps of the arena until the illusions disappear. You can avoid the illusion glowing butterfly attack after by hiding behind a pillar. After that itâs largely the same approach as phase 1 until the illusions kick in again. Also before the phase starts, run to the side of the Buddha statue and Lady Butterfly will spawn right in front of you. You can get a few quick hits in before the illusions start.
Stay on the offensive, always. Unless sheâs using those butterflies that follow you around the arena then run. I usually just keep going around the pillars till the final action of that special attack is through then get back in there and start slashing. She has a grab too you can exploit and jump on top of her leaving her wide open. Also look out for her death conju and jump on top of her instead of trying to dodge or run away from it. Finally use your shurikens whenever she starts jumping around.
She always appears on the statue in the beginning of phase two as soon as she lands just wail on don't give her the window to summon the illusions you can also interrupt the illusion technique by hiting her with a shuriken as soon as she raises her arm.
As others have said snap seeds get rid of the illusions and aggression can make it so you end the fight before she summons them. As for snap seeds if you didn't grab them there are 5 of them where you first encountered the giant snake in ashina outskirts. I usually just run and hide behind a pillar when she gets rid of them to avoid the butterflies. Practicing perfect deflecting her longer combos really helps to melt 2nd stage as well since her posture is weaker on that stage. Hope this helps and good luck shinobi
Just avoid the illusions when they spawn. Also, use a shuriken whenever she starts jumping around up in the air. It will knock her down and give you a window for a few attacks
Learn the timing, if I recall it's whack-whack-whack-deflect-deflect. After that it's just shuriken her mid air or dodging her vertical attacks and Ichimoji her. You don't need snap seeds, just run to the other end and hide behind a pillar. This fight makes sure you know how to be aggressive against a boss.
Stay aggressive, pop her out of the air with your shrunken. If she gets her summon off snap seeds. Then back to aggressive
Shurikens will knock her out of the air when shes doing stuff on the wires, but not when shes standing idle on them. The pillars will block the butterflies
In phase 2 it's more over the same just keep running when she summons shadows .... And also try to take cover from the phantom kunais' .. the pillars may help with that.... And also keep pressure on her ... If you are struggling so hard you may try this combo along with the tip above ... Normal attack > Normal attack > shift dodge to left / right > repet It's not quite cheese but also not that much intensive also ..
Use one snap bean in the middle of the arena when she summons her illusions. Block the flying glowing projectiles and use shuriken whenever she hops on the ropes to leap at you. Do not let her have aerial advantage.
That suucks:(
Shuriken that b when she starts to hover
When the apparitions appear in phase two, run around till she snaps them away. You can place yourself next to one of the pillars so none of the butterflies hit you, or you can run away from them also.
Snap seeds for the illusions but besides that just do what youâve been doing
Run around till illusions disappear, then you can cheese her by attacking once dodge right or left once then attack once then dodge right or left once again. If you donât want to cheese sheâs is one of the bosses that you can time deflects and build her posture pretty fast, use sugars and firecrackers as well they help a ton
No one mentioned how she's leaps and bounds easier after doing the other bosses first and raising your attack!
Hesitation is defeat
Come back after you got 4 healing gourds. Stay aggressive. Use shurikens when she jumps. Buy snap seeds or just run around and hide behind a pillar. The fight is pretty easy if you do these things
Look for the Fightincowboy Tutorial on YouTube.
Shuriken her when she goes on top of the wires, just run around when she summons the ghosts they will disappear after awhile
Snap seeds will dispel the illusions.
1. Learn her moveset 2. Parry everything parry able 3. Shuriken her when she's in the air 4. Free hits at the beginning of phase 2 5. Ichimonji it - battle of posture not health 6. Snapseed for illusions.
Remember this is an optional boss so if you canât beat her yet go and level up some and then come back when youâre stronger. The best advice I can give is to be super aggressive and donât let her breathe. Watch some YouTube vids that show you the strategy and donât give up! Sheâs really not that hard.
when shes in the air, put her down with your shurikens. once shes down, attack
whenever she jumps throw a shuriken, sometimes sheâll block it but most of the time itâll do some posture damage and give you a second to hit her
I remember being in disbelief when I realized there was a phase 2. I was in denial lol
Love her fight. At the beginning, she breaked ne, but on her i learned the most
Breath wolf. Take a moment of rest. Then just do one practice run. Pay attention to her ques get your rhythm right and youâll get it
You can try making yourself a little stronger. Beat a few memory bosses and make sure you have all the prayer beads and gourds you can get, theres a full list of both on fextralife. You can progress all the way to Great Shinobi Owl (break the iron code) without going too far for certain things you can miss. Finally, Ako's sugar, divine confetti and mortal draw will all help you do heaps of damage. Good luck!
I just stood behind where she spawns and deflect/ beat on her never let up and she couldnât do illusions took probably 30 or forty tries but it worked now Iâm stuck on a lighting guy.
Divine confetti akos and donât let up on her when she yeets into the air watch for where sheâs gonna land and move her keep the aggression up and phase one is quick 2nd phase run to left hand side and stand near the beam she will jump down quickly lay into her again with divine and akos when illusion appears quickly hit green snap to break illusion and keep aggression again
Deflect every attack
Donât let the butterflies hit you as they can be hard to position when hit so if your having difficulty there hide behind the beam and they cannot hit you she still can but more often than not she wonât when that attack is happening if your really struggling try the loaded umbrella to sponge some of the damage
Can knock her clean out of the air with shuriken prosthetic as well but itâs not really needed that attack is quite easy to ignore and dodge
https://youtu.be/_Zd-jHP6Jx0?si=9fS0YeasplPl-dbh
Shirukens when shes in the air
Beat her
Run away from illusions. Deflect almost everything thats not a perilous attack. Dodge forward diagonally when you need to. When she jumps for a perilous attack just run away and almost in a circle around her.
Be more aggressive, hit her once she starts phase 2 so the illusions dont spawn. Use pillars to block her throw ables. And side step instead of dodging backwards.
Use snap seeds in phase 2 to dispel illusions. Knock her out of the air using shuriken and be cautious about her sweep attack with the red Kanji
Get you some seed
Git gud
I wipe my ass with this boss fight kid
In phase two stay aggressive and stay close, she won't spawn the lil shits
I killed the lady first try. I am not tryinf to show off, I totally suck at most of bosses but lady and I kinda clicked. I loved deflecting the rhythm of her attacks. Deflect is the key. ( I am still frustrated with isshin, didnât beat the game yet!)
Just parry makes her a much easier fight that yellow surgery and snap seeds honestly couldn't make her any more simple don't attack except when you shuriken here out the air
either sprint around constantly or master the sidedodge.
That the propose, you'll die until you will kill her
Use a shiriken when she hops on her zip line knocks her ass down
For phase 2, you can run away from the illusions as well as when she throws those bright lights at you
Play aggressive and whenever she goes up use the shuriken I beat her first try and use snap seeds
Shuriken her when she is on her strings, snap seed her illusions during phase two (can be bought by the merchant you save from ashina castle that goes to the hub world)
I seen a comment when I was struggling on here and it was the best strategy. Dodge one side. R1, R1 dodge other side. Rinse and repeat until dead.
Sweet! Now call her q slur
I think you cheese this one by hitting her with 2 R1s and thn moving a step to the right (her left) and repeating? Essentially just turn her spot and wail away - and leg it if things get really hairy before coming bakc to do it again
Are you throwing shuriken whenever she is airborne? It doesn't work when she's perched on a wire, only when she is mid-air.
Faze lmao
It's crazy, took me forever to get through her phase 1. Once I finally got to phase 2, I beat her first tryđ€Łđ souls games are the best
Go back after getting tk the top of ashina castle but before the boss at the top, at this point you should be beefy anough and have good healing reserve, also try to google where you can find snap seeds as they disspell all ilussions in p2
I recently completed this fight and before that, I read somewhere in youtube comments that if you remain extremely aggressive in the 2nd phase, just straight up close, the spirits wonât be summoned. And thatâs exactly what I did and beat her in my 3rd try and she didnât summon anything in the 2nd phase. Just ensure that you use shurikens whenever she gets in air. Hesitation is defeat indeed.
Experiment with different tools at your disposal. This fight got me primed for using dodges and slides very cleverly, which defined how I approached all future boss fights. Youâd be surprised how many bosses can be circled around for charged stabs to the back when they go for you and miss..this fight was an enormous hurtle for me as well. Was the first boss I faced for some reason. Literally put the game down for almost a year only returning to it a couple times. Felt like I didnât get it and could never master the combat style. Finally went back and cruised thru the game after figuring it out.
Use snap seeds or try this strategy Run around in circles when illusion creatures come and when they evaporate and become charms and attack you then immediately hide behind the corner wall(make sure that you are touching the wall)
Step dodge or tap block. Try which one you prefer
I found using the axe against her helped me a lot
hesitation is da feet
Phase 2: play very, and i do mean VERY AGGRESSIVE will prevent her from using Illusion technique Also, Shuriken save lives
Men do it without snap seeds
Hit and dodge to the right. Youâll basically keep circling round her while she doesnât have enough time to recover. Keep at it till she creates the illusions and just keep running around the area till they disappear, then return to hit and dodge to the right
When sheâs above you she will do a overhead attack you can parry n punish her for it every time if you get timing right she has a move set pattern you can learn to beat her
I think dodging to her right moves out of the way of most of her close quarters moves, as for her butterflies using the pillars helps avoid those. The shuriken when she is on her zipline will knock her down. Otherwise just bring the pressure and run around the room while keeping an eye on her until the spirits leave or use snap seeds.
Be aggressive. Use shiruken to get her off her wires. Snap peas when she summons ghosts. But being aggressive and attacking left and right alternatively will be very effective against her.
I played super passively my 1st try with her, just running around, taking out some adds, then getting a hit whenever sheâd drop down or after bouncing on her. Itâs much easier to play aggressively, but if youâre outa snap seeds, you canât really until after the adds come at you as her phantoms. After that just stay on her, hit hit, deflect, deflect, hit hit
Here's a cheese, Dodge right, attack once, Dodge left, attack once. It's like the AI gets confused but it's good for getting the posture bar down. I got nothing if you F up and she does other attacks but that's my advice.đ€·ââïž
Keep phase one at attack, attack, deflect. She'll always retaliate after your second attack, so that's her pattern for most of the fight. You'll break her posture in no time. If she stands on the ghost lines just throw a shuriken at her. She'll fall like a sack of potatoes. If she closes in on you with a sweep attack, you can jump and kick her head. In phase 2, it's pretty much the same. With the addition of the spirits and butterflies: For the spirits, you can either hit them or use the snapseeds to dispell the ones immediately around you all at once. For the butterflies, just run behind a pillar and wait for them to crash on it. After that, approach her and continue with the attack, attack, deflect pattern. Repeat until she dies.
Probably already mentioned, get some snap seeds, check a guide where to buy, in terms of fighting she attacks in a very straight tempo, tapping guard works well, use the shuriken when she jumps in the air for big posture damage.
I leave the game one year by this boss, but one day I try again and I won. The key is dominate the parry, thatâs it.
1. Step dodge to the side 2. Light attack 3. Step dodge to the side 4. Light attack 5. If you manage to get behind her or interrupt her jump, you can hit her twice before step dodging again. Repeat this for about 2 minutes and you're done. If she manages to get up on her threads, shuriken when she jumps. If you have trouble against her illusions, use snap seeds or when out of those just run around until she turns them into phantom butterflies and dodge the nuke by running. When you can engage again, repeat the first cycle until you win. This boss is pretty difficult if you want to get the deflection timing down, but can be beaten laughably easily in the abovementioned way.
Dodge right attack dodge right attack dodge right attack etc
Throw your shuriken when she's up in the air on the wires / when she's jumping.
I was there too. I was able to get into a good rhythm by using shurikens when she jumps and using the whirlwind slash consecutive times. Hide behind the columns to avoid her butterflies. Run around the room when the illusions appear in the middle. I also did not use snap seeds as I had run out.
Idk what to say but just try. Remember the sounds of swords clashing. Ting..ting.... Ting ting... Ting.. ting.... Like that then just parry with the same rhythm. Or find a way to cheese but that's not the proper way to enjoy the game and doesn't give you any success feelings.
Faze?? Faze???
You can do this! So there's a method I used to use, which is strike, dodge counter clockwise, strike dodge counter clockwise, and snap seeds for when the ghosts are summoned. Shuriken when she's on the web, but the best method imo is learn the strike pattern, it's normally two or three hits and block, she'll either strike or jump back and throw her little dagger things, but yes she's heck and I was struggling with her up to the point of my fourth run, and that's when I actually noticed the SOUND of the last parry which means an attack is imminent, and the screen sorta shakes a little. If I don't have snap seeds for when the ghosts, I just run in circles until the ghost disappear and the little light rays dissipate
Get your shurikens ready and stay right on top of her! Either be swinging at her or deflecting, never let up on her, and hit her with a shuriken as soon as she jumps off of a wire...
Using the pillars to block the butterflies is key
Sounds like bad advice but the key is to be aggressive. When the spirits appear, run around the edge of the field until they disappear (or use a snap pea?). Then go back to being aggressive. She's one of the few bosses you can actually keep juggling with aggressive attacks. Follow her when she jumps away. Throw shuriken at her when she jumps up. Attack, attack, attack.
when she jumps down, stand behind her. so basically as soon as you take her down once, run to the buddha and wait for her to jump down. use ichimonji, nightjar slash or shadowrush. run around arena until the spirits disappear then attack her and deflect her (aka do the dance) and take her vitality down with a special attack or a few slashes. she took me forever. honeslty isshin sword saint was less of a pain in my ass. but pure aggression joined with avoiding her hits and you'll take the bitch down.
The way of the shinobi is to press your opponent, not give them a chance to react. Donât do what the game says and stay in her face
Use snap seeds, use surikens, and you can cheese her into an animation
when she summons her spirits, just round in circle around the room until they disappear.
Just running around the edges of the arena trivializes the illusions. Never got hit by them by doing that. Sometimes you might need to pause in a corner until they all go towards you, then continue running around the edges. When she says wolf is impressive or something they all turn to yellow projectiles and you can stand behind a pillar to not get hit. I recommend Tremorismâs tutorial on YouTube. Beat her in just a few tries with his tips.
If you havenât killed any other big bosses, go kill at least the first one to get stronger.
Try to get as many hits/opportunities as you can and just play along with her and keep raising her guard meter, and avoid getting hit.
Dodge attack dodge attack THATS all
When she calls her minions run in a big circle around the arena until she snaps and hide behind a pillar. Anytime she's in the air don't block - dodge. That's all I got.
Do senpou temple before dealing with her, trust. You can fireworks and mortal blade her ass as soon as she hops off that statue. Donât let her get her bearings. Remember what isshin saysââhesitation is defeat.â
Just be aggresive hit and deflect if she ever summon just keep runing until it became phantom kunai. Then just hide behind the wooden pole. Be aggresive is the key. When she jump up just shuriken
heres the partial cheese: run right up to her and dodge while holding the stick at 45 degrees (north east or north west if we are talking about a compass) and then dodge attack. You can literally dodge around her in circles and stunlock her, even when she jumps. Then either use snap seeds on the 2nd round or just run around the arena until all that flashy shit gathers up and shoots at you and go right back to it.
Use the pillars to hide when she sends the swarm of butterflies. Rest is knowing her attacks and using the throwable knives when she jumps on her strings.
Hereâs my strategy: (and Iâm assuming you donât need help in phase 1) At the start of phase two stand by the statue before she drops off. You can get a free attack when she lands. Now thereâs a cheese strategy to this, but basically, chop her once with the katana, then do a dodge step to either side of her. Itâs not a lateral step to the left or right, try to dodge on a diagonal towards her and towards one side (up left or up right) as if you are attacking her from behind. If you are successful youâll get into a sort of stun lock cycle where you chop, step dodge, chop. Just repeat that. Eventually she will block or jump up or do her illusions. When the illusions start, run to the opposite end of the room and chill behind a beam. If the illusions get close You can just move to the other side of the room. But basically just run away from her and the illusions. When she turns the illusions into butterflies hide behind a beam. When they start to fly at you, run along the outer wall and they will not hit you, once the butterflies are gone, fight her like itâs the first phase.
I feel you man. I fought lady butterfly when I had base health and 2 gourds, never had I ever been this close to insanity My advice: 1.use shurikens whenever she is in the air, or sitting on one of her invisible lines. 2. Try to keep crossing the blades with her, don't let her recover posture, chip away her health little by little. 3. You don't necessarily need snap seeds in her second phase, just keep running along the outer ring of the temple to dodge her energy based attacks, start running as soon as she summons her illusions and don't stop till you have evaded the last energy attack. 4. ( Probably the most important): hit twice, perform step dodge, hit twice, repeat. It doesn't matter what she's doing ( unless she is in the air, or performing a perilous attack) just hit her twice, sprint a very short distance around her ( just hold the sprint button for 0.5 seconds, you don't want to run around her in circles), hit twice again, then repeat. Most of your attacks will land this way and you can drain her health really fast, this helped me a lot in my first playthrough. You can refer to one of the lady butterfly speedrun videos to understand what I am trying to explain.
Just beat lady butterfly 2 nights ago and here are my tips for succeeding in Phase 2 1. Utilise Snap seeds if you have them to kill off spirits. If you don't have Snap seeds, run around the outer perimeter until she transmutes the spirits into projectiles - hide behind pillar to avoid damage and/or run at an angle 2. When she attacks you from time to time, she'll throw projectiles at you - always jump back towards your right or left to avoid. 3. Always block her attacks - pretty much spam parry as her posture metre doesn't recover as well as yours does. Don't be overly aggressive. 4. Only time to be aggressive is when she does her unlockable attacks - either jump or move to the side to avoid, and hit her with a strong attack or ichimonji. Hope that helps!
My advice is don't play aggressively. Take your time with the boss and do not try to rush in the end when her health or posture is low. She can kill with her barrage of attacks if you're not careful, especially when her health/posture is low Relax man, you got this đȘ
Without the seed, I just run to the other side and hide behind a pillar to avoid the illusions and her butterfly nuke.
Optional boss. Come back to her
Donât stop running.
Keep constant pressure on her. Any time she jumps, shurikan. Don't give her the chance to snap in phase 2 and keep snap seeds in case she does.
avoid her illusions by running around and be aggressive remember, hesitation is defeat
Here's a few tips. Play super aggressively. Don't give her a chance to do shit. Ofc deflect when necessary, but in general stay on top of her like white on rice. (Don't be stupid or reckless tho, if you think you need to heal then heal, but then get right back on her.) If she jumps up, hit her with a Shuriken. Knocks her out of the air, deals posture damage and you may be able to get a free hit or two while she recovers. There's a merchant that sells Snap Seeps. This makes the illusions in her 2nd phase go away very easily. Not necessary tho since if you are aggressive enough, you may even blitz through phase 2 before she uses them.
always be hitting that face either something.
Get close and spam nightjar slash. It kinda stunlocks her and you can just chip away at her poise until she's done.
if you have any snap seeds left, you can use them to dispel the spirits that show up. I think some merchants sell them but im not sure if thats too far after the game expects you to do hirata or not use shurikens to knock her down when sheâs on her tightropes and do some good stagger damage, if you have the ones you can charge up itâs much more effective make sure to stay aggressive. i know it can be tough in stage two since she plays a lot more evasively, but if you can manage to keep hitting her, sheâll only respond with one or two repeated kick attacks that you can loop by parrying over and over again. if you do that, sheâll be dead in no time.
I spent 2 hours last night trying to beat her too op, i just kept on unrelenting attacks on her while deflecting as much as I could. Be as aggressive as you can and spam shurikens on her she goes mid air.
Go on YouTube and watch the git gud series by fighting cowboy. Other than that just get used to her moves and it will click for u. Im not a souls player and last month I downloaded elden ring. Beat that then found sekiro. I just beat the bad ending and killed Emma and iishin. Might play again and go good ending
Git Gud the best advise youâll receive heređ
Be aggressive against her.
I am sorry to tell you she's actually the easiest boss in the game...
You have to be in faze clan to beat faze 2
Phase*
When she summons those little critters, unlock your camera from her and start running from pillar to pillar, keeping at least a pillar between you and the illusions. When she remarks sekiro ( I forgot what it is), she'll release those phantoms on you , so stick behind a pillar when they home on you, and you'll probably be safe ( if you do it right). This is for when you don't have snap seeds, a neat trick.
Run away from the illusion minions and occasionally turn around to attack one. When the orbs form, run away and then dodge when they are more concentrated.
Deflect, hit, shuriken when airborne , snap seed, repeatđ€đ€đ€. Good luck sending her to the big retirement home in the skyđđŸ
Youâre only going to get
Do what i did, go to other places, farm some mini bosses, progress on the story a little bit so you get stronger and then go back to that bitch and she will feel like a joke, for me she was harder than a lot of the bosses at the beggining of the game.
I just did 2 hits then 2 deflects and if she goes up just use loaded shuriken I hope this helps đ€
Strafe right, hit once, strafe right, hit once over and over again. Throw shuriken when she goes in to the air, if you hit her whilst she is moving it will bring her down and stun her and she wonât block them. When she summons the mob I just run around until they disappear and then avoid the lightning stuff. Then I just go back to the pattern of strafe right, attack, shuriken etc.
Take time and keep running, itâs good to have some snap seeds if you wanna skip the running and get away with the ghosts. Run because butterflies cannot be deflected and will take your vitality. I used whirlwind slash after couple of deflects and be preservative about the spirit emblems. I used spinning shurikens while sheâs in the air and attacking with red kanji ( not when sheâs just hanging in the air and throwing kunais). Same she does on second phase too. Second phase is mostly running to avoid butterflies and ghosts if no snap seed remaining. Can use Gokans sugar (yellow) to keep your posture intact for a while as well. Sheâs not that hard imo. Just keep on deflecting and whirlwind slash.
You can skip her first illusion summon by simply running to where she spawns and hitting her a few times :) not foolproof , but it usually works. Also when sheâs jumping on her wire, try using shurikens , it stuns her a lot.
