After the introductory video, approach the dilapidated wall on the right, where the gaps between the stones are visible, and attack it with your foot. After destroying the wall, search the corpse and go out into the corridor. You have to kill the first enemy, a guard with a sword. It is not that difficult to do this, but here it is important to use stamina in time and select the moment to attack. After killing the enemy, pick up his sword and the key to the dungeon.
Let's understand the controls without a gamepad on PC:
Use the Q and E keys to move through the menu - "Back" and "Apply", respectively.
Examine all the chambers to find a corpse, look into the room with the table and open your first chest - inside there is a sword and boots. Press Esc and equip all items.
Move to another part of the corridor, open the grate, chest, another one under the stairs and go upstairs. Keep killing opponents - an enemy with a crossbow will appear. If you approach him, he will pick up a sword. Climb even higher, on the trail?In the upper tier, kill the enemies and take the battle ax from the large chest. On the same tier there is an altar where you can pray to save progress and restore health. Return to the stairs and move to the very top.
Search the room on the left, eavesdrop on the conversation between Edward Kelly and the stranger through the bars of the door on the right. After killing the enemy, find the stairs and go down, but before that, find two chests on the floor - with a hat and gloves of the Tower. At this point, you should have full equipment and a choice of three weapons - bastard swords, a battle ax and a Runk spear.
After descending to the tier below, kill the enemy and remove the bolt from the door to open the escape route to the same altar.
Altars work in the same way as campfires in Dark Souls - you restore HP, but also restore all enemies. When you find items of equipment, you can see an "equality" sign, or an "up" / "down" arrow on them. In the first case, the item is identical to the equipped one in the main parameter, in the second case it is better or worse. But in addition to the main parameters, there are also secondary ones - therefore, you should always go to the menu and compare two items with each other.
Go outside and move to the very bottom of the stairs. Break the crates to reveal a corpse with loot. Appearing herethere are new opponents - knights in armor. You have to be careful with them! You could not go down to the very bottom, but turn left - after killing two knights, you will enter the tower. You can also get there from the very bottom, along the stairs to the left through a small door. But there is also a passage to the right - kill opponents and collect valuable loot, including loot from two large chests.
Inside the tower there will be another altar for prayer. First, go down the stairs and collect loot by studying the skill information. Climb to the very top, search the corpse and learn about the attack from the air. Approach the edge of the ledge and attack the enemy from below. Once at the bottom, look into the tower ahead and go upstairs, where you will face the first boss.
A slow, predictable and poorly defended opponent awaits you, with a powerful blow and inflicting massive damage if you let him do it. My advice is to keep your distance and provoke him to attack. The enemy has only a handful of moves, all of which have long cast times and cooldowns. Large sweeping attacks are easily recognized. Dodge them and land a few hits if the opportunity presents itself. Repeat the steps several times until you deplete Derek's entire health bar.
The brutal Edward Kelly will then appear and use his magical powers to resurrect Derek, transforming him into a more sinister form. In the second stage of the fight, jump back and wait for him to run at you - dodge and then attack the enemy. After some time, you will be prompted to activate the Living Weapon. Press the indicated keys and finish off the first boss of the game.

Usuki
After the introduction, pick up the weapons lying on the ground (depending on what character settings you chose initially) and study the coast. Walk left to find the loot. Destroy boxes, which often drop useful items. Pray in front of the altar, which will allow you to increase attributes and perform other character upgrades. Armita is used to increase performance - you get it after killing enemies, as well as when using special crystals (just like souls in Dark Souls).
A little further, right in the water, you can see the first grave - red remains with a sword. You can interact with her to fight the spirit. These are dangerous opponents, but in the case of them?When destroyed, you get valuable loot. In general, there is a lot of prey on the shore, which will allow you to almost completely equip the hero.
Climb up the mountain, follow the barn and find yourself at a number of others. Here you can go past the buildings to the right or go up the hill ahead. If you go higher on the hill, then you can simply clear the location and collect a lot of loot. Among other things, in a small building with a visor on the corpse, there is Yumi's longbow. If you go right from here and go down, then under the corpse near the tree you can find a battle ax.
Go back and go up the hill towards the fenced area. Clear the entire yard and try to open the gate - it's locked, you need a key. Look inside the house in the center and approach the glow in the corner. A demon will appear - after killing him, search the corpse and take the key to the house. With it, you will open the door further.
This is followed by a whole village, consisting of destroyed buildings. There are many useful items here, and for movement you will have to use not only passages and stairs, but also vats of water (allowing you to put out the fire). On the territory of the village there are two Kodama at once, which can be directed to the prayer altar. After some time, you will leave the territory of the village and find yourself on the shore with a moored ship.
The second boss of the game, Onryoki, is a huge red Oni who uses long chains tied to his arms and swings massive balls on them in an attempt to knock GG off his feet. To defeat him, pay attention to the hand with which he holds the chains, and move in the opposite direction. If he attacks with his right hand, then move closer to the left side, and vice versa. After he strikes, you will have the opportunity to conduct your own attack. No need to get too greedy and try to land an unmeasured number of hits on the enemy - linger nearby for a little longer than expected, and the enemy will perform a deadly attack.
Avoid attacks from behind, because for such a dishonor, the boss will immediately punish you by turning around and performing an attack that is almost impossible to dodge. Halfway through the battle, Onryoki's chains will be destroyed, but he will have many other, new attacks. Don't stand near the boss as he can grab you and deal a lot of damage. Instead, stay away and wait for the enemy to jump and punch the ground. You will have a chance to attack him. Remember to replenish your Ki after each such technique.

Nakatsu Province
Follow the cave and kill the first enemies. In the room on the right you can find a chest. Climb down, killing another enemy along the way, and then go into a spacious cave. So, there are several enemies here and a fire to summon the spirit of the warrior. The archer is at the top - you can climb to it if you look behind the rock on the left. Go up to the archer, kill him and try to open the door - it is closed. Looking ahead, I note that this is a separate boss room, and not a path further down the level.
Climb down, but do not rush to go under the bridge leading to the locked door above. Go into the alcoves on the right and find the first Kodama there.
Go under the bridge, turn right and find yourself in a room with a couple of opponents and a fire to summon the spirit of a warrior. Interact with him to defeat the spirit, and then pay attention to the cat spirit that has appeared. He will say that the walls have eyes and you are interested in them. Look at the wall on the right and see two eyes. Attack the wall to make a demon appear - kill it and go into the corridor. Deal with a couple of enemies - one of them will drop an item called the "Boss Room". This is the key to the same room seen earlier. Inside it you will find the enemy andanother Kodama.
Get down even lower, move through corridors and cave halls filled with water. If you don’t know where to go next, then look for a descent into the water - you may have to jump down. In the cave you can find another Kodama - to do this, go down the long stairs and go along the left wall. Then jump down, clear the spacious hall and go to the back. Here on the ledge there will be an enemy throwing bombs. Kill him with a ranged weapon, and then a little to the left find a passage leading up. The corridor, in the end, will lead you to a hall with stalactites and corpses under the ceiling. Here the battle with the next boss will begin.
This boss is based on a flying demon from Japanese myths - Hino-enma will be, let's say, the first stumbling block for many gamers. She is faster than both previous bosses and can paralyze the protagonist, leaving her vulnerable. Hino can even kill you with one punch!
In order to increase your chances of winning a fight, I recommend using gear that increases paralysis resistance, as well as taking lower stances to stay mobile. Stay close and avoid her combo attack by quickly stepping back. Move around the location and hit the enemy until he recoverspours.
When Hino takes off into the air, then block her shurikens, as it is problematic to dodge them. Dodge monster attacks by moving left and right. After this technique, Hino will be susceptible to several of your attacks. Repeat the process and soon finish off the boss.

Dazaifu
Appearing at the location, clear the yard from all the opponents you meet. Do not be afraid to fall into the water - you can find a lot of useful items in it, and you can climb up either with the help of fallen trees or along the slopes. Go along the bridges to the destroyed bridge. Kill the demon. On the other side of the bridge there will be an enemy throwing bombs. Stand facing him and on the left side you will find a fallen tree. Run along it at the top and find the first Kodama.
After that, turn right from the destroyed bridge. Go around the building - you can go to the right and collect loot, or you can follow the fence counterclockwise (along the perimeter of the courtyard). So you will go around the destroyed bridge and find yourself on the other side. Kill more opponents and demons, and then go to the courtyard. You will hear the voice of a girl, which will warn you that it is best for you to leave this place. Take a couple of steps forward so that Nue's guardian spirit appears.
Nue is the same Yokai, but with a monkey head, tiger paws, a tanuki body and a snake tail. The boss moves quickly, attacks with lightning-fast and powerful blows. The key to victory is to use the right stances and use various items and equipment that increase resistance to elemental damage.
Avoid all of this creature's attacks and wait until the boss fires a beam at you. When this happens, move to the left and aim for the gap between the leg and head of the boss. This will completely deplete the opponent's Ki, making them more vulnerable to damage. At least for now. Attack him and then quickly retreat.
Another opportunity to attack will present itself at the moment when the beast leans towards you. Again, just dodge him and attack the monster's belly. Repeat the process and find that the opponent's health is depleted very quickly.
*****
After the victory, go through the seal and enter the house. Talk to the girl magician named Fugu. She will say that the same spirit blocks the path further. Need to ask no??forgiveness and perhaps he will let you pass on. Click on Backspace to enter the gesture menu. Next, press the I key to open an additional menu with spare gestures. At the very bottom, look for the "I'm sorry" gesture. Select it on E and then do the same with any of the nine available gestures on the right. Now press E on the "I'm sorry" gesture to perform it in front of the guardian spirit. Go through the door and stand on the square slab to activate the elevator and go down into the dungeon.
Take a couple of steps forward and see the door slam shut. Approach it and on the left side, in the corner, find a prayer altar - be sure to save. The dungeon is very spacious, so you can get lost here. In fact, everything is quite simple - you have to go around this whole place in a circle, killing enemies, and get to the totem with fire, located on the second tier opposite the locked door (which you saw after going down the elevator).
Use the totem and then run through the doors in a straight line until you meet a girl. Chat with her, and then use two totems together at the same time.
Clear the room, then do the same with two more totems. Go through the door to watch a cut-scene in which the stranger reappears. He is attake the form of Muneshige Tachibana, and will fight against you in this way.
By this point, you should be well trained in dueling opponents using melee weapons. Just remember to keep your Ki high so you don't get stunned by the enemy and move around until the enemy is open to attack.
Muneshige Tachibana has several moves that can punish gamers for being overconfident, including low-stance attacks that rapidly escalate into something stronger.
Wait while dodging attacks and land a few hits of your own. He doesn't have that much Ki, so the goal is to deplete that gauge and force the enemy to fall to the ground. Alternatively, Yokai water pots can be used.

Iwami Province, Iwami-Ginzan Silver Mine
At the beginning of the mission, the first thing you will see is the prayer altar. Save and prepare for the next journey.
After relaxing at the altar in??go outside and move along the boards on the right, go along the ledges to the opposite side and you will see a strange device. Interact with him to start the ventilation system and remove the poison from the space below. From here, move forward and then use the stairs on the right. You will see a door that cannot be opened, but you will be able to continue through the doorway to the edge of the board. There will be another board to your left with three enemies. Walk along the board and deal with the monsters. After defeating them, move forward and go down to another device to launch it and remove the poison.
There will be a huge amount of Yokai here, so proceed with caution. Instead of rushing ahead, try to kill them one by one. After defeating the Yokai, go up the ramp leading to the next altar. Save and prepare to continue. After resting at the altar, go through the mine, and then use the doorway. Climb the stairs ahead and go to the right. You will see a Yokai and you can kill him, then go left across the bridge. Go to the end and go down.
Keep moving forward until you reach a ledge. Yokai can be found on the ledge on the right. Let him detect you, dodge his attack so that the monster hits the wall. When this happens, then attack the enemy. Defeating the Yokaicross the bridge and use the ventilation device on the platform. Interact with him to clear the area of the poison.
Jump down and kill the Yokai and a few more enemies. Follow the route until you reach a room with a ladder. Climb up this ladder and then move to the left. Search the corpse to get the key to the central shaft. Go down below and go to the door on the right side. It will be locked, but you can open it with the found key.
Move to the entrance to the mine and use the stairs to get to the ledge. Move left to the boards until you find another ladder. Interact with it to create a shortcut back - follow it to return to the locked door. Open it and find another altar. Save and prepare to fight the boss, Big Centipede.
After that, leave the room and go right. Kill another Yokai and deal with the archer on the left using your gun or bow. After dealing with the enemies, move to the right and go down the stairs to activate another air purification device.
From here, follow the other two stairs until you see a room with more Yokai. As before, kill them one by one by throwing stones at them,to get attention. A crowd of these monsters can kill you! Having dealt with everyone, find the stairs along which you will climb higher. Go to the right side and move along the tunnel all the way to the left. Go down to the ledge, from there - to the ground to engage in a fight with the boss.
At first glance, the Centipede is an incredibly frightening monster, approaching the head of which without damage is almost impossible. The trick here is to dodge by tumbling on the ground and then slam into the enemy's torso. This is a great option if you are not fixated on the target. After a few hits, the Centipede will fall apart, revealing multiple targets that can be attacked. You can use them to replenish your Armita and charge your Living Weapon. Or attack the stunned head.
After a while, the centipede will pack up and start chasing the hero, but this time much more slowly than before. Head to the area above, near the pillar, as the first floor will be shrouded in a poisonous mist, and use the environment to block the boss' projectiles. Shoot at the enemy from around the corner. Eventually, the monster will run out of Ki, giving you an opportunity to attack.
After the resurrection?When the boss appears, he will hide through a hole that goes down, and the fight will repeat as it was in the first stage. Again attack the torso, and then repeat all other actions as described above.

Itsukushima Island, Aki Province
At the beginning of the quest, the first thing you will see is a prayer altar. Save and start exploring the level. Go right and go down the path. You will see some pirates and a bonfire. Deal with the pirates, and then kindle a fire. After the fire burns out, you will see the next path. Make your way to the second bonfire by crossing the broken wooden planks. You will encounter several water Yokai, so be prepared to take them down. Soon you will come to a place where you need to walk on the roof - after doing this, go down through the hole and you will see more Yokai. After you kill them all, light a fire and go outside. Follow the path along which clothes are hanging.
Turn left and go through the door, behind which there will be more Yokai. Defeat all enemies and light the third bonfire, the last one on the level. Return to the main gate and prepare to fight the chapter boss, Umibozu. Sobe kept in the prayer altar before starting this battle. When you're ready, open the main gate and enter the arena.
Umibozu is a Yokai that lives in the water and one by one sinks all the ships passing through the sea. They are gigantic and gross creatures. It's hard to know what drives them, but William will have to destroy one of them in order to continue his journey.
To get started, take a look at the bonfires scattered throughout the "Once Again the Ocean Roars" level. There are three campfires in total, and you need to make sure you light each of them. If you didn't do it earlier during the mission, then go back and do it!!! The lit campfires ensure that you don't have to fight a bunch of other opponents besides the Umibozu boss. This is very important as this boss really requires you to focus exclusively on him.
If you have access to talismans or fire magic, then you must use them to attack the enemy. A fire talisman paired with a weapon in a low stance for quick attacks can cause the boss's health to drop quickly. All the same rules from previous battles still apply: attack Umibozu when he is vulnerable and then retreatand get ready to dodge. This boss is a powerful opponent, but all of these will remain only potential threats if you act carefully and carefully.
Approximately when Umibozu has about a third of his HP left, he will switch to his second form. At this stage, the boss will stand in the center of the arena, from where he will spam with powerful attacks. They are very hard to dodge, so instead of jumping and rolling, change stances more often and use a block. Dodge when you can, keep your distance and attack until the boss is stunned. When this happens, take out the "Living Weapon" and unleash some powerful attacks.

Shigisan Castle, Yamato Province
At first it may seem that going through this castle is a difficult and impossible task. In fact, what is required of you is not much different from what you did before. Save at the prayer altar, which is located at the beginning of the location. After that, move along the torches on the walls that lead you deeper into the castle.
Soon you will find a bridge with a large spider nest - kill the spider and then go to the roof andgo down the stairs. Here you will need to destroy a few more spiders - after killing them, move to the right and find another prayer altar. Rest at the altar, then follow to the left and go through the door. Climb to the top of the mountain and kill some of the spiders and Yokai that are waiting on the way. You must defeat all Yokai so that one of them drops the key you need.
After the destruction of all the Yokai, again go where the torches lead until you reach the castle at the very top of the mountain. On the left side there will be another prayer altar - rest near it and continue moving. From the altar, follow to the left, turn right and fight the spiders. From here, follow the path that will lead you to the castle and another group of spiders. Look into the main hall until you reach the boss of the chapter, Joro-gumo.
Before you is a spider woman, who, with her huge dimensions, moves quite subtly across the battlefield. Being close to the monster in the first part of the fight, beware of a possible capture that causes great damage. From a distance, the boss often makes attacks, and dodging them is very problematic.
Pay attention to the belly on the back of the boss - it glows, and it is desirable to attack it in anymoment when it is possible. When you deal enough damage, Zero will decide to protect the glowing belly by covering it with powerful paws. When you notice this, then follow to the head of the enemy and hit it, dodging the rest of the movements and the web flying out of the mouth. After a while, Zero will scatter traps on the sides, which will slow down the movement if you step on them. After restoring stamina, the boss will assume a normal stance.
When the boss’s HP drops below half of the maximum, the enemy will begin to act even more dangerously, will move faster, but from the techniques he will use only spitting, a two-hit combo at close range and a jump from afar. Just as you did at the first stage of the battle, at the first attack of the enemy, follow him behind his back and hit the glowing belly.
Avoid the web scattered across the battlefield, as the hero's movement will be slowed down almost three times. At the last stage, you can use "Living Weapon" if you have its charge at this point.

Honnōji Temple, Yamato Province
First crystal
At the beginning of the mission about??Head to the nearest buildings. While moving along the desired route, kill a few skeletons. The archer who is near the building must be destroyed with a ranged weapon. This method is the best, since there will be two more such opponents here. Ignore the crystal for now. When you get to the building, then go up to the roof and kill the enemy near the stairs. After defeating all the enemies, take the treasures. Then move along the path, and along the way you will find a closed door, which you will be able to open at a later stage of the chapter.
When you spot a Yokai, approach it carefully as you will be attacked by an Oni-bi that suddenly appears. After defeating both of them, you can try to kill Onedo. If you win, the demon will not appear here again. Take a few steps forward and turn right as there is an altar hidden behind the walls. Keep moving until you reach a well. Throw down the stone and take the loot. The archer in front of you can be killed with a ranged weapon. Where the archer was, a Yokai will attack you. On the left is a crystal and loot. When you get close there, you will be attacked by an Oni-bi. Go through the ice corridor and destroy the butterflies. After that, the power of the crystal will dissipate, and you can destroy it.
Second crystal
Follow through the crystal and fight?? with two Yokai. At the end of the path, you can open the door and find a shortcut back. Now follow the path and enter the building on the right. On the other side of the building, on the left side is a one-eyed Imp. Make peace with this enemy so that he does not turn into a huge cyclops. After that, kill him, open the chest and take the loot.
Go in the opposite direction and follow the path. Go to the arena and fight the enemies. After the victory, you can get on the roof of the neighboring building and take the loot. Approach the spearman guarding the stairs, climb higher and jump down to the other side of the roof. There you will be attacked by Yoki. After defeating the enemy, destroy the butterflies, which will allow you to neutralize the power that protects the crystal. Go inside and open the chest. You are attacked by Mujina. Then you need to move along the snowy corridor and destroy the crystal that you saw at the beginning of the game.
Third crystal
You can find three paths leading to other parts of the location. The farthest one leads to skeleton warriors guarding loot chests. The second path leads to the roof of the building, where you can find treasure and meet an archer and an Oni-bi.
The third path leads to a building guarded by an archer and a skeleton. Inside the building, you will have to kill Onedo. Before attacking, deal with o?a common enemy using a ranged weapon. Otherwise, this enemy will throw bombs at you, making it difficult to fight other monsters. Defeat Yoki and the archer located behind the building. Having done this, search the area and collect the loot from the chest located against the left wall of the building. Destroy the butterflies, go back inside and destroy the crystal.
Fourth crystal
The next part of the location is divided into two paths. Go ahead, kill the one-eyed Imp and the Oni. Head to the building on the right, kill the flying monster around the corner and climb up. Move to the opposite side of the roof and jump down. Kill the Kappa and destroy the butterflies. Climb the snow mound, jump down from it and destroy the crystal, activating the altar. Walk along the path that was previously blocked by crystals. Move forward and turn right as you approach the wooden bridge. Open the door and defeat the flying enemy behind them. Behind the enemy, between the wooden structures on the right, there are butterflies. Destroy them if you want to destroy the crystal blocking the path to the boss.
The second option is to turn left. Destroy the wooden wall and go into the building. Inside you need to kill the monster. Cross the wooden bridge and kill the archer standing on the p??ti. Now you can take one of two routes - the path to the left allows you to unlock the locked door and return to the well, and the path to the right with a further turn to the left will allow you to get to the hot spring. Accept it to restore strength, and return to the previous location.
Kill a flying enemy with a ranged weapon, then deal with Yoki. There are chests in the building behind him, but before you open them, defeat the fire Oni-bi and the skeleton. Approach the gate that opens from this side. Before you will be a wooden structure with butterflies. Destroy them to destroy the crystal blocking the way to the Yuki-onna boss.
Yuki-onna is a snow witch from Japanese mythology who is said to lead people who venture through the mountains to certain death. This is a formidable opponent!
She has a lot of flying projectile attacks, but she can also punish the hero for being too close. Balance is very important here! Use a weapon with a fire buff and stay away from the boss while dodging attacks. Then run up close, avoiding combos. When the enemy misses all the hits, turn around and attack him. If you do everything right, then the boss will be stunned, letting you in??have several crushing blows.
Run before Yuuki-onna recovers as she will most likely summon falling icicles. Repeat the process until you have depleted half of the enemy's maximum health. Now a much more difficult episode will come - the boss will act much more aggressively than before. Use ranged attacks, including bombs and arrows, to reduce your HP. If you can, then activate the spirit of the Guardian. This will allow you to deal damage to the enemy without risking your health. Soon the monster must be defeated!

Mount Hiei, Yamashiro Province
First crystal
An altar will appear near you, and next to it is a door that leads upstairs. There you can find loot guarded by two soldiers. After killing them, go down and see a one-eyed enemy. Do not rush to attack him, because the nearby crystal will restore health. Destroying the crystal from this position is problematic, since its durability will also be restored. Instead, turn left and you will see two paths. Go down the first one and find??te Kodama hiding behind a tree. When you pass along another path, you will find a building. Get inside and go down the stairs.
Once at the bottom, keep going forward. If you open the door on the sides, you can collect treasures. Defeat Nurikabe at the wall on the left, after the first turn, and open the secret passage. Kill other opponents, among which there will be new magicians - the only difficulty is related to their magic attacks. They can be blocked or dodged.
You will see three mages and a crystal. Defeat the first enemy with a headshot, after which two more remain to be eliminated. When you kill them, you can destroy the crystal. Leave the cave and go to the stairs on the left. You can pause for a moment and search the chests. When you return to the surface, you will notice that the one-eyed enemy has disappeared, and where the crystal was, there is a hole (do not fall through it).
Second crystal
Go around the hole and climb up. Follow the first route on the right, which is blocked by crates - they can be destroyed. At the end of the path, you can find Kodama. Collect the loot and move forward. As long as you stay on the path, you will be able to meet the enemy. Further there will be a fork - the path to the right leads to the chest and the altar. The path to the left will take youto the two buildings between which stands Yokai. Before attacking it, climb to the top and kill the enemy throwing bombs.
After hitting the one-eyed enemy and searching the building, you can pick up useful items. If you go forward, you will encounter Yoki and Onedo located next to the crystal. Don't fight them, but instead stick to the right side so you don't provoke the enemies to attack. Go around the crystal and get to the place where the descent into the dungeon is located. When you do this, then pay attention to the spearman. After killing him, move straight until you reach a fork. First, go left and open the door.
Behind it is Yoki and a crystal that needs to be destroyed. There is a Kodama hidden in the room below the cabinet. Follow the other path, defeat Yoki and take the loot. Follow forward using the second route. Pay attention to the skeletons and Yoki. Defeat monsters, collect loot and go outside. Use the next altar, find another Kodama located on the other side of the building in front. If you follow the path leading to the left, you will find Kodama standing in front of another building. The same path will take you to the place where the second crystal was. Collect loot.
Third crystal
While you're on your wayto the altar, you can turn right behind the building and defeat the enemies that attack you. To the right is a building with stairs. Use a ranged weapon and kill the enemy above. Then use the stairs to get up, and on the other side of the building you will need to jump down. This will allow you to bypass the enemies that have surrounded the crystal. Walk forward and turn left at the first turn to find Kodama. There will be a path leading down, but before you use it, go through the grass and get to the hot spring.
Go down and to the left, kill the enemies located near the body, as well as the spearman. At the end of the path is a door leading to a cave with a crystal. She is guarded by a one-eyed Imp and two mages. First, kill the Imp so that he does not have time to turn into a huge monster. After that, it will be possible to destroy the crystal. Climb higher and get to Nurikabe. By defeating this enemy, you will be able to unlock the passage that leads to the last altar. After leaving the cave, go forward and defeat Yoki, take the loot from the chest. After a few steps you will find a ladder. When you climb it, then choose one of two routes - the path to the left leads to the place where the last crystal was, and the path to the right leads to the boss.
If you go to the left, you will have to kill the warrior and Yoki.A little further on, on the right side, there is an area with an enemy that looks like Nue and the Spirit Stone Dream Chapter. It is also protected by a crystal. The best way to destroy the crystal is to activate a living weapon and use fast attacks. You can also jump into the hole where the crystal was and collect the loot. Use the door to leave the cave (it can only be opened from the inside).
Moving towards the boss, you can linger in the graveyard and collect the Kodama that is hiding among the graves. The boss arena is at the top of the stairs. The White Tiger is waiting for you outside the door.
The White Tiger or Byakko is a giant four-legged demon that moves swiftly across the battlefield. Roll to the left, try to attack the bright yellow weak spot on the White Tiger's eye.
Basic claw attack - a simple single strike (left or right), from which you need to dodge to the left side and immediately attack the enemy from the side. You will have time to inflict several blows on the enemy. There are not many opportunities for the White Tiger to attack - this is one of the right moments to attack.
If you attack an enemy from the side or from the back for a long time, he will use an area damage spell. Dodge the Tiger to avoiddamage.
The eye ray is one of the boss's deadly attacks. Watch out for the glow in the eyes of the White Tiger. The eye will blink, and then an energy beam will fly out of it, which will chase you. Dodge and avoid him. If you are close to the boss and managed to dodge the beam, then use this moment as another opportunity to attack the enemy.
You must act aggressively. Attack the enemy after his usual claw strikes, dashing from the side, or wait until he uses the beam from the eyes to punish him for a gaffe. The White Tiger also uses charged lunges and throws projectiles like other bosses do.

Secret Village, Iga Province
The first part of the building and the garden
At the beginning of the mission, on the left side, find the altar. Enter the building, you can destroy the walls to find hidden rooms. There are ninjas inside. Provoke them with ranged weapons to take out enemies one at a time instead of fighting them all at once. You must have an antidote, as the ninjas will throw poisoned shurikens.
Killing enemies from below, ?Go to the stairs, go to another room and chat with the ninja. On the scratches on the floor to the right of the ninja, find a hidden door (disguised as a wall), go to it and interact. You will find yourself in a new room with a chest and stairs. Destroy all objects and find Kodama. Having risen, do not go along the balconies, but stay in the room. Kill the ninja, find a chest behind the wall and go down the stairs to unlock a shortcut.
Go back upstairs and this time exit to the balcony on the left, to the second floor of the room, where a dead body lies on the cobblestones below. Ahead will be the demon amrita. Moving towards it, pay attention to the trap and do not fall into it. To do this, do not approach the enemy from behind, but go in front, clockwise. You can kill the enemy or lure him into a trap. The power of the crystal will restore the enemy's health. Keep moving down the corridor until you get to the end. Get down, near the corpse, look for a ninja who will jump from above.
Open the revolving door. At this level there will be three more such doors - the first and second lead to a room with a crystal, the third is closed. Destroy the crystal, hit the banner on the wall to leave the room. Get down and find Kodama near the well. Here you can also open a short path to the altar.
Defeat all enemies and then search the level. You will find treasures and a Kodama hidden by the fence. Enter the wooden building, move towards the bridge and beware of the ninjas who can throw you down. Activate the altar behind the bridge, jump to the ground and kill the warrior with the weapon. Jump down, kill Yoki and destroy the crystal. There is a Kodama in the chests - go back to the altar.
The second part of the building
Climb up and open the door. Jump down avoiding the spikes, enter the next room and kill Yoki. Jump down through the hole - be careful to land on the beam. You will find yourself in a corridor in which you need to kill spiders and ninjas. Once everyone has been defeated, walk across the beam to the door. You need to destroy the screen to unlock the passage and make the house turn around. Go through the door and jump down. Now you need to meet Yoki, who will jump out of the fog. In the next room, you need to finish off the spiders and go further. Do not stand in the center of the room, which may cause the trap to activate.
Walk down the corridor to open a shortcut to the altar. Behind the wall you will run into Yoki. If you go through the rotating wall, you can get into the room with the ninja. After the fight, you need to deal with Nurikabe. Will you open the passage to the room with hot and??accurate and Kodama. There is a rotating wall next to it - behind it is another Kodama.
Keep going forward, in the next corridor, pay attention to the pressure plate, which is activated by a trap. In the next room there is a crystal that needs to be destroyed. Nearby is a revolving door, behind which is a treasure chest. Follow further and behind the door you will encounter the boss of the location, the Giant Frog.
Even despite its massive size, the Giant Frog fights almost like any human - it is a fast and agile killer, equipped with ingenious ninja moves. Stay behind the boss, attack him and retreat before he has time to reciprocate. When an enemy moves forward, you can also attack him from behind. A low stance will help a lot here, but a normal stance is fast enough for you to deal a lot of damage.
A lunge forward is an attack that you want to provoke your opponent into. Stay at medium range and the Giant Frog will move forward, releasing its spear and leaving itself completely open to your attacks until it recovers. If you can dodge, you'll have a high chance of doing a lot of damage.
Also, the frog can jump high into the air and land. Use this if you are near the boss. Dodge to avoid damage - fortunately the damage area upon landing is not so large.
Spear combo. It's a sweeping combo, but if you dodge the first two attacks, you'll find the frog is open to attack from behind. Just watch the last hit - the direction will automatically change.
When a third of the maximum HP is left, the Giant Frog will start using explosive bombs. If you want to make your task easier at this stage, then it is advisable to save the spirit of the Guardian and use the Living Weapon to finish off the boss once and for all.

Futamata, Totomi Province
The mission starts next to the prayer altar. Follow the path that will lead you to the enemy. There will be a crossroad next - go right to get to the collapsed bridge. On the way to it, you will encounter some enemies. In front of the buildings, you can jump behind one of the trees to find a Kodama and activate an altar guarded by oneeyed Oni. There is nothing else you can do here, so go back to the fork.
On the left side in the fog there is Yoki. Kill him, follow the path and you will encounter two other enemies. Throw down a stone to kill both, find the room and go downstairs. Be careful not to fall into the water. Move along the wall, on the left side you will find the entrance to the cave in which the chest is located. Keep going forward, and after defeating Yoki, get to the hot spring.
Continue along the path through the wall, where an enemy will attack you near the building. At this stage, you will reach the other side of the bridge mentioned above. On the left, behind the building, there is a Kodama hidden behind chests. From here you can go one of three routes. The first one on the right leads to the other side of the bridge - go there, drop the ladder to make a short route.
The next path leads to Kodama, and the third, which is on the left, will continue the story. A small one-eyed Oni will jump out of the fog. Kill him to get to the gate. On the other side there will be another gate and a building. The gate is closed and Yoki is in the building. Kill the one-eyed Oni in the yard, go down and continue between the rocks until you reach the altar.
Climb the stairs on the left side, undestroy Yoki and continue along the path. You will reach the back of one of the buildings and a second Yoki will jump out of the fog. After killing him, continue your journey, climb the wooden tower on top of the mountain and deal with the soldier. It remains to take the key to the Seiryuju temple from the dead body.
Return to the altar, head to the building on the left, the entrance to which is guarded by a raven. After killing him, go to the back side and free Kodama. Inside are two chests with loot. Return to the courtyard with the one-eyed enemy, and use the key to open the same gate. Around the corner on the right you will find Kodama. At the top of the stairs is a warrior guarding the door - the Ogriha boss awaits you behind it.
49.jpg - Ogriha. focus. Her jump attacks are especially difficult to predict. The Ogriha will use its giant, long claws to stab you and fire a wide range of fire breaths.
Claw Swipe - Dodge to avoid melee claw attacks and then try to counterattack the enemy. Like most bosses, Ogriha will respond in one of two ways - AoE with a shot or a jump.
Yokai Capture - Notice when Ogriha's hands begin to flicker, as it does with Yokai. She immediately?will fly towards you and try to grab the main character to deal massive damage. This is a slow move, so just dodge and run away.
Stomp Leap – Ogriha will leap towards you, kicking the ground, regardless of whether he is near or far from the hero. Damage will only be dealt to you if the hero comes into contact with the boss. She will use jumping more and more as the fight progresses.
Fire Breath - Be wary at mid-range, but if you're close, this is a great option to punish the enemy. Attack her from the side while she is stuck in an animation with her breath in front of her.
Ogriha's most annoying attack is her jump, and she will continue to use it throughout the battle. If you can reset her stamina to zero, then use Living Weapon to finish off the enemy as soon as possible in the last stage. Otherwise, try to find the right moments to attack, or shoot from a distance. Dodge and attack Ogriha while she recovers from her own lunges and jumps.

Edo Castle, Musashi Province
Before starting the mission, collect as many antidotes as you can. The task, as always, will begin next to the altar. Go down into the sewers and kill the first enemies. Deal with the archer and move forward. Destroy the barrels on the way, fight the warrior and enter the room where you need to climb the stairs. After destroying the crystal, go into the room where it was and break the barrels. Use the narrow passage and stairs to get to the new area. Kill the skeletons and take the Kodama.
Jump into the sewers, kill the enemies and follow forward to open a shortcut to the altar. When you enter a spacious chamber with fog at the end, you will see a fork in the two paths. Can either go straight ahead and fight Yoki from the fog, or flank the enemy. As the last one, you need to use the stairs on the left. There will be an archer and a possessed samurai along the way. Each route will lead you to a crystal that must be destroyed. After destroying it, go down the stairs and rescue Kodama. Go to the other side and go up the stairs.
Activate the altar and go to the courtyard. The area is guarded by several samurai, but in fact, you should only kill one of them - the one with a cannon, on a wooden structure. To get to it, go to another part of the area and climb up the foresttnitse. After that, go to the crystal and destroy it. Search the lower part of the courtyard for loot, climb the stairs to a higher tier and in front of it you will see a chest - after the destruction, look for Kodama.
Eliminate Yoki on the field, but don't rush through the door on the left. If you do this, you will end up in an arena with a boss. Turn the corner and go up the stairs. There will be an enemy and Kodama. Below, in the mist, is Onedo. After killing him, collect items, and then go to the arena with the boss. This is not an ordinary battle, because if you can destroy all three crystals, then remove the dark spell from it.
Possibly the easiest fight in the game. You can kill the famous samurai Honda Tadakatsu by destroying the three purple crystals scattered around the arena. In other words, you don't need to attack the boss itself.
*****
When you leave the arena and enter the building, turn right and go down the stairs. You will find a door that opens a shortcut to the altar. Nearby is a samurai who will teach you gestures in exchange for balls. Go back, do not enter the room with the samurai, but instead go through the corridor on the left. Behind the stairs you will see the entrance to the room with the crystal. Destroy it.
Move to the next crystal. You will see him behind the wall after you go up the stairs. Go around the room with the samurai, move along the long corridor and defeat the opponents on the way. Kill the Yoki and the warriors and then destroy the crystal. Climb the stairs and destroy Nurikabe, after which the path to the altar will open.
After climbing the stairs, go to the balcony to find Kodama. Inside the building, open the door behind which boss Okatsu is waiting for you.
Another one-on-one battle against a human - you will have to defeat the possessed Okatsu. She is fast, but deals little damage per attack. The trick is to deplete her Ki pool and use heavy hits while she is stunned and on the ground. She is ruthless, but at the same time careless with her stamina. Dodge (rather than block) to save most of your stamina and strike back when Okatsu is vulnerable.
Charged Strike - She will swing her blade before running forward and trying to attack you. It's easy to read because the animation is clearly visible, but the actual attack is very fast. Dodge left or right to avoid it. Did she bounce after that?Jump into the air and use a second charged strike - don't let her catch you off guard.
Flip - be on your guard, as the boss will very often jump over so as to be behind you. If she does a back somersault, then you don't need to chase her. Wait until Okatsu approaches you by herself. Attack her when she's around - she always defends, but at the cost of this you can quickly reduce her stamina bar with normal or heavy blows.
Wall Jump - After charging, she will often use a wall attack. The girl steps back and clings to the wall before flying straight towards you. As the battle continues, Okatsu will begin to use this technique more and more often, and sometimes even several times in a row. Very similar to a charged punch. She will often go from wall jumping to charged punching or vice versa.
Kunai Throw – At medium range, Okatsu will throw an arc of Kunai at you. These are low damage projectiles that are hard to dodge. Either dodge forward through the wave of knives or block them.
In this battle, you should focus on controlling Okatsu's speed, and attack her at the moment when you can deplete your Ki. Most of the damage should come from finishing moves while stunnedi Okatsu is lying on the ground or just standing in a stunned state due to zero stamina (Ki).

Fushimi Castle, Yamashiri Province
The mission starts near the altar. The door nearby is closed. Go left and move forward. Do not go to the location with burned houses, move past. Behind one of the stones you will find Kodama.
Return to the burnt village, go through it and kill some monsters. When you get to the well, you will see a fire on the right side. Destroy the barrels, water will pour out on you. Follow through the fire and send Kodama. Climb the stairs to the next part of the region, beware of the enemy with a cannon and you can climb to the roof of one of the buildings. Lower the barrel to get rid of the fire blocking the path.
Move on and at some point you will see Nurikabe, on the wall on the right. After defeating him, you can send Kodama and unlock a shortcut to the altar. Thanks to this, it will be possible to bypass the burnt village, if you suddenly die later. Pass through the location, defeating all enemies on the way. The best solution is to get to one of the roofs using a ladder, whereyou will need to kill the enemy with a ranged weapon. Go along the bridge, on which there will be an enemy, and activate the altar on the left.
Next you will find another place with fire. You can get to the other side through the building on the left. Inside you will have to face several warriors and a soldier. When you are on the other side, do not rush to jump. Go to the back of the house and look for Kodama. Kill Yoki and go down to the bottom floor. Pour yourself some water, enter the fire and kill the Oni-bi. Hammer the key to the warehouse from the corpse, where you will find a lot of interesting things.
Go back, go forward and pay attention to the enemy that will appear from the fog. Climb the ladder and jump down to the wall where you can find Kodama. Go back there, keep going until you get to the altar.
In front of the altar you will see a locked door. You can open it, but on the other side. To do this, go behind the building, jump down and defeat the enemy. Then through the walls get to another building. There you can open a short path to the altar. Once inside, take out a few enemies while avoiding the fire. Go down to the lower level and find Kodama in one of the rooms.
Follow back and defeat all the opponents you can find. Go down the stairs behind the demon to open?? another shortcut to the altar. Use the stairs near the hot spring, and then go up to the upper tier.
Get moving
This boss is a member of the Eternal Flame faction. This is a famous Japanese warrior, known for his resistance to the warlord Oda Nobunaga.
The best way to win this fight is to stay close and keep attacking the enemy while in a low stance. Avoid his gunshots and try not to get under fire on the edge of the arena. Hit when you can.
When the enemy is broken, he, having recovered, will try to counterattack you. If he does, then move sideways to dodge ranged attacks. Throw your projectiles at him, for example, shurikens, which will allow him to return to the ground as quickly as possible.

Sekigahara, Mino Province
The mission starts near the altar. At its beginning, you must meet with the soldiers of the enemy army. Continue along the path ahead, turn left at the end and go through the fence - ta?? you will find Kodama. Next, go to the other side of the gorge through a wooden bridge, turn left and among the rocks, look for another Kodama. Before moving to the marker on the map, carefully examine the area and find a few items. Open a short path to the altar, go to the marker and fight Otani Yoshitsugu.
Another flying boss is a cunning half-human and half-Yokai creature that uses dual blades, moves quickly around the arena, and is capable of buffing itself. Wait for Otani to hit the ground with both blades. While he is buffing his attacks, he becomes immune to your attacks.
The trick in this fight is to when the boss buffs himself, dodge his attacks until he depletes all of his Ki. This will happen quickly, causing Otani to become stunned. If you can, then attack him with normal or heavy blows. He is fast, but very vulnerable to finishing moves. Don't try to fight him when he's buffed - his attacks are buffed and his sword turns into projectiles. It deals more damage and blocks a huge amount of your hero's stamina.
Let Otani exhaust himself with his own attacks, then hit him while he is exhausted. When he is not under buffs, can you exchange at??kami immediately after he performs a combo or attacks with swords.
*****
When the battle is over, go through the gate with the soldiers, turn right and lower the stairs. Unlock a short path to the altar, go across the bridge and after defeating the enemies, activate the altar on the right. Re-enter the water and at the end, near the statues, look for Kodama. Rise to the surface and you can attack the shooter from the back.
When you get to the arrow tower, jump down. Deal with two opponents and go forward. You will encounter several soldiers. Go to the side and free Kodama. When you get close to the last cannon, you will be able to enter the water. At the end, you will find another Kodama. When you are at the back of the cannon, enter the water and activate the altar.
Eliminate the shooters, send Kodama to the edge of the cliff and cross the bridge. On the other side is the entrance to the boss battle arena with Shima Sakon.
Unlike the previous battle, this boss is 100% human. It will not transform or use any magical powers other than summoning the Guardian Spirit. This means that the kick ability will work wonders in this fight. Attack the enemy after every attack,to reduce his stamina. Stay away when he uses a charged spear attack with Guardian Spirit.
Grab - An attack in a very close range. Avoid it when you are close to a Sim, as this grab cannot be blocked.
Whirlwind Strike - Sim will spin the spear around him in the air before tucking it behind him. A very powerful technique, but it is easy to recognize in advance.
Living Weapon - Just like you, a Sim can use Living Weapon, their magical spear. This effect is short-lived, but the enemy often uses the technique during combat - usually about three times. Don't let him catch you without Ki, or he'll tear you to shreds. At this stage, the fight should become a kind of routine for you - you have performed all the actions before. But the next boss will present you with something new!
September, 1600
Sekigahara, Mino Province
This mission is difficult largely due to the large number of opponents and their level. As before, the quest will start at the altar. In the first arena, you will have to fight the skeletons. When they are defeated, chat with the character standing on the rampe. You have to get to the red crystal and fight Yoki and the skeletons along the way. If you do not want to fight with the spirits, then follow the markers. When you launch the spike into the crystal, immediately jump to the right. There you will find two Kodama. One of them is located in the corner, near the tree, and the other is on the tower.
Before you can find the second crystal, you will have to fight Onryoko. This is the same opponent as before, but this time much less powerful. When you defeat the enemy, then stick the spike into the crystal and jump to the right. Go past the buildings, activate the altar and near the temple you will see a wooden building with another crystal. Before you pick it up, defeat the skeletons, go to the other side of the location and find the chest and Kodama inside the building. Collect all the items, and then go to the arena, where you need to fight Gasya-dokuro.
Gasha-dokuro looks intimidating, so do not rush to engage in a fight with a giant without carefully preparing for it. Instead of immediately going to the battle arena, chat with the character near the first altar of the location. At the level, three amrita crystals are scattered at once, destroying which, you can weaken the boss. After you stick a spike in any of the crystals, Gasya-dokuro will shift his attention to you. Use cover until your assistant is distracted?No demon's attention with his cannon.
Activating these crystals will create golden spots on the location, standing on which you can quickly charge the “Living Weapon”. This helps a lot during the fight - attack the glowing weak spots on the giant's legs and arms until he is stunned. While the boss is stunned, his head will fall to the top of the hill. Climb to the top of the container and start attacking the head to deal even more damage. Get the Living Weapon and attack the monster.
Giant's Stomp is a simple attack where the skeleton slams its massive foot into the ground in an attempt to crush you.
Tail strikes are harder to dodge. The skeleton will rotate around its axis, striking with its legs or tail. Both moves are pretty slow, so you'll always know when to dodge. Roll in the direction the tail is coming from, not back away from the boss.
Keep the rhythm and pace of the rolls, use Living Weapon to attack the legs until the enemy is stunned. Don't rush into attacking the head - first, charge the "Living Weapon" on one of the glowing spots. Repeat the steps until the giant creature is finally defeated.

Mount Ibuki, Omi Province
This mission starts from the place where the altar and Kodama are located (on one of the roads). Go up the hill through the entrance near the altar and fight the soldiers. There is a Yoki in one of the caves behind the fog. After you defeat him, you can collect some items and then go outside and kill other enemies. When you go to the left, you will reach the place where you need to kill three opponents and Yoki, who came out of the fog. After the fight, open the chest, collect the loot and go upstairs. After killing enemies on the way, including soldiers and ninjas, activate the altar. Enter the cave, go down and take out another Kodama. Go back and go to the other side of the mountain.
When you go down the stairs, you will have to fight the raven. You can avoid this fight if you go down to the ledge below. Go down to the house below and find the loot inside. There is a Kodama behind the house, and another one on the ledge. You will need to jump down to this ledge as you climb up.
Follow further and you will see a fork with two routes between the rocks. They lead to the same place, but it is advisable to explore both paths in order to collect useful items. On the first path there are some soldiers and ninjas, but on the other ?? fog from Onyodo. After the battle, lower the ladder to open a shortcut to the altar.
When you enter the mountain, you will come across another fork. Take the left path, but note the trap built into the floor. In one of the caves on the left is Kodama. When you exit, go left and get to the next fork. Walk to the left side and look for loot, while the path to the right leads to the altar. Get ready to meet Yoki.
After activating the next altar, go down the stairs, cross the bridge guarded by the enemies, and kill them. Go to the right side, where you will find Kodama sitting on one of the trees. Return to the bridge and go down the stairs. There will be a building at the end of the path - kill the enemies and go inside. On the other side, a hot spring awaits you.
Climb up the path, kill the soldiers and archer, and then Oneodo, who will come out of the fog in the cave. After defeating everyone, go further and on the left you will see the entrance to another cave. Inside is an altar, and next to it is a Kodama. When you go up the stairs, you will notice a building. Inside is a ninja and another Kodama. After going through the door at the end of the stone tunnel, get ready to face the boss Ishida Mitsunari.
From the very beginningbattle Isis will be charged with energy. This effect is temporary and greatly enhances all of the boss's hits. In addition, with the help of his weapon at such times, he can perform long-range attacks while swinging his sword. It's best to roll back and dodge until the effect wears off.
Living weapon - he uses the same weapon as you. When this happens, do not try to attack the enemy - let him waste energy, stay as far away as possible. Dodge to avoid blades.
As the fight progresses, Ishida will speed up and start using Living Weapon more often. He is a Yokai, so he can use a special move to replenish his Ki. As in any one-on-one combat, man against man, this is a very susceptible enemy when it comes to lack of stamina. Use regular and heavy hits while avoiding his Living Weapon. It will drain a lot of Ki, allowing you to counterattack without risking your HP.
As with other boss fights, save Living Weapon towards the last stage. When your health drops below 20% of your maximum health, then draw this weapon and quickly finish off the enemy.

Sawayama Castle, Omi Province
First container
This mission will start at the altar. As you move through the hallway, kill the Yoki that appears around the corner and then go around the pressure plate to avoid the trap. When you go up the stairs to the right, kill Yoki and then Nurikabe, who will give you access to another room where Kodama is and a shortcut back.
Go to the next room, but do not rush to enter the room where the amrita devil is located. Instead, follow the corridor forward, make sure you restore your health and look for a hatch leading down behind the logs on the right. There are several items and Kodama here, and spiders and skeletons act as opponents. Approaching the stairs, look for a skeleton with a weapon. There are also two more enemies upstairs.
When you return to the main level, defeat the amrit devils and destroy the container in the center of the hall. After the fight, go forward along the corridor and chests to the right. If you destroy them, then you can go to the next corridor. Pay attention to the pressure plate in the floor - a trap. Yoki will jump out of the fog. After defeating him, activate the altar and pull the log out of the door. Approaching the fog, you will notice a ladder leading up. But besides the corpses and the vra?There is nothing interesting here.
Second and third containers
Go down the stairs near the last altar. There is another room with a container guarded by the devil. Use ranged weapons to kill those at the end of the corridor.
Note. There is a hatch in front of the enemy. Don't rush to use it. When you defeat the devil and destroy the container, go through the door and see another devil in the corridor. Kill him, go left to the stairs and hit the rest of the enemies. Collect items and unlock a shortcut to the dungeon.
When you go in the opposite direction, you will find yourself in a dungeon. At the bottom of the stairs there is a skeleton and a devil waiting for you. After destroying them, go forward and turn the corner where Kodama is. As you progress, you will come across four routes. The rightmost one leads to a room with Kodama under the table and a shortcut back. The next trail will take you to Kappa. By defeating him, you can collect loot. Follow the leftmost path to find the hot spring. Finally, go along the last remaining path and kill the enemy that has appeared around the corner.
Having dealt with the enemy, move on and find the pressure plate. In the cave on the leftThere is fog on the other side. Before you get there, deal with the skeleton on the upper right. After defeating Onedo, who appeared from the fog, take the prison guard's key. With it, you can open all the doors that were previously blocked. For example, the door of the room in the dungeons with two devils and Kodama.
When you search the entire territory, then return to where you fought with Onedo. Go through the rooms, collect the loot and climb up the stairs. Watch out for the stone ball rolling down. To avoid it, enter the niche in the wall. Climb to the top to collect the loot and go through the door to which the stairs lead. Behind it is another container, guarded by the devil and Oni-bi. When you destroy the container, then use one of the doors leading to the next room.
Latest containers
A large spider will appear from the mist. After defeating him, go to the next room where you need to destroy another container. It is best to deal with the devil guarded by him by shooting from a distance, since there is another enemy in the same place. After clearing the location, look for Kodama behind the bags.
The room behind the bars has three containers to destroy and a one-eyed monster to defeat. After clearing the room, activate?There is another altar and in the next room you will have to fight two enemies and Yoki from the fog. After defeating everyone, go to where you can open a short path to the last altar. Going down the stairs, you will see another boss - the Black Samurai.
The dark-skinned samurai is a powerful foe that does what previous bosses couldn't - switch weapons in the middle of a fight. He has two weapons - a giant ax and dual katanas. He prefers to start with an axe. It's a powerful weapon, but you shouldn't have much trouble dodging sweeping but slow ax attacks. The samurai doesn't use magic, so it's a fairly easy fight, though there are some tricks to watch out for.
The Giant Ax is a slow but powerful weapon. The boss will swing it wide and the combo ends with a small vertical jump. He will also try to approach you directly - block or dodge left/right. Don't stay too long in place or he'll catch you with a devastating throw.
Dual katanas - much harder to dodge. Be less aggressive while he uses these katanas and wait for the boss to pick up the giant ax again. Thiswill happen over time.
Wait for the attack when the boss hits the ground with a giant ax at the end of the combo. You will have a few seconds to complete two or three hits. Do this while he's vulnerable and back off. Keep picking moments after your opponent's failed combos to quickly drain his Ki pool. You can deal massive damage to him, just like any human, if you stun him with zero stamina.

Azuchi Castle, Omi Province
After the start of the mission, do not rush to run to the castle. Instead, go downstairs to find Kodama. Open the door near the altar and destroy the skeletons on the way to the building. As you approach the mist, fight against Onedo, the Devil, the Skeleton Warrior, and Yoki. Fortunately, other warriors will help you in battle. After defeating everyone, collect the loot and return to the bridge. After opening the gate, go down and unlock the shortcut. You will need to go through a warrior and a one-eyed monster coming out of the fog.
Go through the next door and kill Yoki and the skeletons. Near a pile of rubble you will find Kodama. Cross the building to drop down to the ledge on the right and goand along the path. On the way you will find two ravens. After killing them, go up the stairs to the wall to find Kodama. Jump down and defeat another enemy group coming out of the mist - crows, oneodo and devils. Now go to the next building.
Destroy the Yoki on the roof, find a chest inside, and when you go further, look for Kodama behind one of the walls. Approach the fog, from where the one-eyed warrior will come out. When you go a little further, a tree will fall, opening a shortcut. Go back to the building with the chest inside, and in front of the gate you will see a fog, from which a raven, two one-eyed, two Onedo and Yoki will come out. After defeating them all, go to the palace behind the gate.
After entering, you will have to defeat some opponents coming out of the fog. The difficulty lies in the fact that now you have to act alone, but the opponents themselves will be less demanding. In addition, several Kodama can be found here. One of them is on the wall and you will be able to access it after you defeat Yoki who came out of the fog. Walk along the wall and make sure you don't fall down. After defeating several enemies, go to the stairs and look for Kodama below. Follow the markers on the map, outside the door you will find several bosses that you met earlier - Onryoki, Nue, Joro-gumo and Yuki-onna.
After the battle, use the lift and climb to the top of the palace. There you will fight three bosses - Odu Nobunaga, Edward Kelly and Yamata no Orochi.
The lord is not happy with the fact that he was resurrected, so he will use all kinds of abilities of the elements of nature. In the middle of the battle, he will combine the elements and gain new powers, making his actions difficult to predict. There is no element in this fight that you can use for extra damage, so there is no need to worry about creating a special build. Luckily, you don't have to completely kill Oda. He admits defeat after his HP drops to the minimum level.
Element Switching - Odu swaps the elements used and gains new attacks each time.
Lightning Strikes – Launches a series of lightning strikes at you from the sky. Keep moving to avoid getting hit.
Ice Spikes - Like Oda's wife, in his ice form, he will launch five spikes. Dodge them in time or block attacks, but remember that in the latter case, a large supply of Ki is depleted.
A heavy attack that cannot be dodged can be well recognized. Oda n??Chnet rotate and fly straight at the hero. Dodge or block the reception.
No matter what element Oda uses, it always remains open to attack. Sometimes he will only use one attack or launch an entire combo. Wait for him to finish, then land two or three heavy attacks. You can easily drain Oda's stamina to hit him with a last hit and deal a lot of damage.
This guy is way more dangerous than the first time you met him. His most annoying attack is the grab. He will walk towards you and then teleport forward and grab the hero. This move can drain up to 75% of your health and is completely impossible to block. Luckily, Kelly doesn't have much health, so this fight will be short.
Like Oda Nobunaga, this fight is all about how quickly you deplete Edward's Ki using heavy and normal attacks. Unfortunately, the enemy has a good defense. His red energy shield cannot be destroyed, so once he activates it, retreat immediately. Don't bother trying to attack him at such times.
Grab is an annoying attack that always happens after teleporting or after a red shield appears. slope?stay away from her!
Amrita - Instead of grabbing you, sometimes Kelly will attack with an armita blade immediately after teleporting. The move is much easier to dodge and does much less damage than a grapple.
Snake Guardian Spirit - It's not hard to avoid the attack, but when Kelly releases her spirit, run away from him until he disappears. He will follow you, so stay on the move.
Kelly will slowly move towards you using basic sword combos or start teleporting forward to grab you or attack with armita blades. After teleporting, if you dodge successfully, you will be able to attack Kelly. Attack him with heavy blows after he moves. When Edward is stunned, finish him off. Don't forget to retreat when the Guardian spirit or red shield appears on Edward. Heal quickly after a successful grab by the enemy.
The legendary eight-headed dragon Yamata no Orochi is the final story boss of the game.
Each enemy head has its own unique attack, tied to a particular element. But absolutely all heads move the same way. I recommend destroying the heads in a clockwise direction. Thiso ensures that you are not attacked by two or more at once. Fight each one using a high stance and make sure to run away when the dragon jerks its head back. This means that he will attack you. If the enemy misses, then run up and attack him.
To speed up the process, you can use weapons and amulets, which are weaknesses for a particular element. This is the most efficient way I have found.
After defeating three enemies, you will face the final boss, Hundred Eyes.
April, 1603
Tower, England
All you have to do is cross the castle, killing the enemies and following in the opposite direction to the one you were moving in the first mission of the game. So you get to the personal office of the servant of Queen Elizabeth I, who is the instigator of all that is happening.
After destroying the eight-headed dragon, you will unlock the mission from the epilogue called "Eyes of the Queen". At the end of it you will meet the occult philosopher John Dee. After the cutscene, he will turn intoa huge monster with a hundred eyes. Hence its name! It's time for the final fight.
