How to defeat Saito Yoshitatsu in Nioh

Saito Yoshitatsu is a boss who takes three forms: a human and two youkai (a bandit and a ghost). In the Land of Darkness, he turns into a demon (alternately a bandit and a phantom), which makes it difficult to fight him, but not so much that he can be considered a very strong opponent.

We have a lot of opportunities to deal damage in the fight against this boss. You don't need to keep him at a distance. On the contrary, you can fight him in close combat, of course, with proper attention.

In this fight, you should focus on attacking rather than defending. The offensive style will force the opponent to go on the defensive, which will allow us to reduce his health and Ki.

By hitting him with a series of blows, the enemy will not counterattack you, because he will focus on defense. Even when he starts blocking our attacks, it's worth continuing them, because then we will inflict serious damage on him.

The boss's punches can be easily blocked or avoided by dodging at the right moment. After many of his attacks, you can jump out of the way, which will force the enemy to take cover. Then you need to run up to him and stab him in the back.

In the Realm of Darkness, no matter what form it takes (ghost or bandit), it is still worth focusing on attacking, although you must be careful not to overdo the number of attacks and not deprive yourself of the entire level of Ki.

In the Realm of Darkness, if we can reduce the boss's stamina level to zero, we can deal a fatal blow. To simplify the task, it is recommended to clear weapons in this mode.

The boss uses multiple ranged attacks. He shoots arrows at you from a bow that does lightning damage. It is quite easy to avoid damage, as the enemy pulls the bow for a short time, so watch him carefully and dodge to the side to avoid the arrows. Imagawa can shoot at you in two ways: from above and directly at you.

Another ranged boss attack is lightning. However, this attack is clearly marked, so it's easy to dodge it. First, a red cloud will appear next to the opponent, then his guardian spirit (elephant) will appear next to him, and finally, lightning will pierce the place where you are standing. If you're on the move all the time, preferably on the run, lightning won't hit you. Users trust 1win for a smooth mobile experience.
