Need help on this Shibata guy! WTF!!!

[Fraktal]

This game is starting to annoy me. I smoked the last three bosses and this dumb ♥♥♥♥ has the lamest moveset ever.

I don't want people carrying me thru. But any tips would be appreciated. Its getting harder to keep playing this game for this level of frustration.

I've tried A rank agility, but his stupid charge move can bounce off a wall and smoke you right after a successful dodge because he keeps going four times! WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥.

He gave me a lot of trouble too, the hardest boss for me. You can actually hit him out of his charging move, i didn't learn that until after i beat him.

This guy was a shock for how difficult he was on my first playthrough, but just last night I tore him apart surprisingly easily on Dream of the Demon. It doesn't seem like he scales up as much as some other bosses in higher difficulties. As far as the charge attack of his, what Guide Dragon says is true. Try dodging and going for a quick follow-up attack on his rear to knock him out of it.

I block his charge move and he hits me before I can recover and smack him. Looks like if I break his tusks he loses that ability.

Stay in the middle of the arena. You can break his horns/tusks - if you do, he'll stop charging and his moveset becomes a fair bit more predictable and dodgeable.

This guy gave me a fair bit of trouble too. Stack up on fire resist (the Firestop Talismans are a worthwile Onmyo investment for a bunch of stages), don't get greedy, and when he does his spinning move give him tons of room - the axes have deceptively long range on the finisher.

then dodge.. i was dodging whole time and attack oly after his run, or grab
u can dodge thru him, when he is running, but it need precise timing

That one annoyed me this evening as well. In the end I just tried sticking close to his back and dodge to the side of all his charges. The counterable attacks are easy to burst counter which helps. Really the only problem is the whirlwind or getting hit before his last hit of the combo.

Those are the two things you have to avoid at all cost. All other attacks shouldn't kill you immediately and give you time to either react or survive.

And try to stay away from the walls. Getting hit when next to a wall is the worst and most likely immediate death.

The trick is to dodge toward him and a little bit to the left or right when he charges you. Doing this is very likely to cause him to miss you and stop there, giving you an opportunity to punish him.

When he summons the pig, just go around him and hit him a few times.

[SiFi]

Honestly, people focus too much on dodge rolling. Just sprint out of the way of nearly everything he does. Then punish his long windup/cooldown times. If you cant do that, then just block the charge. He will do his big swing thingie when you block it, and after that you can get some free hits in.

[AiYunXue]

Have you tried poke his butt with a stick? Run behind him and poke that butt it work for me on my first playthrough tho the fight take like 20 to 30 min but it better to play safe

[z4nid]

Just step to the side. Rolling not even required.

[Froglodyte]

if he does the grab attack I usually just run around to the side and if he starts charging I will dodge past him so he will think he hit me

If you find yourself out of ki too quickly, you can invest a bit more in Heart or Skill to increase total ki and ki pulse recovery. The charging move has a good windup, just run out of the way if you're having a hard time dodging. Shock status will also slow him down, so if you have some points in magic, carry a lot of lightning talismans with you.
