Nightmare Bringer help

[Fitness Lauch]

Hello, does someone has any tips for this boss? I'm stuck at floor 50 because of him, he feels extremely unfair. His meele charge is extremely hard to avoid (sometimes double charge), has a ton of health, is immune to elements, applies elements by himself all the time and his meele hits are hard to dodge and deal tons of ki damage. He doesn't give a proper offensive window for attacking either.

Even with all 4 Kodoma buffs I don't see a way to get past him, not even close. He's like at 50% hp when I run out of potions and magic.

He's weak to purity.
I attack him the same way I attack Ryomen, kasha, and the Ogress in Nioh 1: go under him and keep attacking from there with a fast weapon. I use the tonfas here and the kusarigama in Nioh 1.
If he jumps, just block or dodge and then go under him again. Don't give him space... and use all the cats you have.

if you're planning to go into the depths I suggest you don't summon visitors and try to learn dealing with him yourself.that being said
1)his attacks are heavily telegraphed,usually if you're in front of him dodging to the side,to his forelegs is a way to go.
2)his downed state is one of the longest in the game,make sure if you get one take 3-4 high stance at the very least,paralysis reset is also a thing if you have the tools(Baku as second Guardian Spirit is a good way to proc it)
3)give him Magara Naotaka,Shibata Katsuie treatment-getting greedy with him will do you no good,you need to play a war of attrition due to his incredibly big hp pool and powerful,but slow attacks.
4) firestop,waterstop and lightninstop talismans or daito-jin sake are a must in this fight,it nullifies a lot of his damage in this fight and prevents you from being overwhelmed by debuffs that stress you out and stop from focusing on main objective of dodging
5)he has weak ranged pressure(not the sword swings,but the other ones,u'know),abusing flamethrower move can be pretty useful when both of you are low
6)if you have problems burst countering him,brute yokai is pretty solid on doing what you need to do
7)if you need even more tricks up your sleeve,kodama bazaar usually offers about 30 quick-change scrolls for you to buy,even if you have 4 already you can get 5th
8)if you have a companion usually bosses focus the nearest to them,make sure to get some free hits with your ranged weaponry(preferrably handcannon)°
9)purity and ki-damaging soul cores are a must
in conclusion:just focus on dodging and hitting afterwards,focus on not being greedy.if those advices still don't help and you feel like you've been fighting to your limits to no avail,feel free to give me a call-I ill be glad to help you with him,I find this fight incredibly enjoyable

Also, drink Daion-jin's Sake: it prevents you from getting confused (and therefore receiving 50% more damage).
EDIT: ninja'ed

About that.As far as I know,if you whiff burst countering his tornado move.you will still get confusion despite having elemental resistances(Never tried with sake,though,used only talismans)

Thanks for the tips. One noob question: Is there a reliable way to farm daito-jin sake?

[Asedora]

Well,there is.If you never used any sakes you probably accumulated so many at this point you don't have to farm for them.There isnt any reliable way to get them by drops,but..You can forge them through blacksmith,and he uses 11k gold and 1 kappa shell per sake.Obviously,farming Kappas(But you can,through Demon Parade) is a ridiculous task,so if you help enough people and get some glory,you can buy many of them at Hidden Teahouse.
To summarize:Get Glory-buy Kappa Shells-craft Daito-Jin Sake with blacksmith

Sake works even if you counter the tornado

chug an elemental resist item. Dao something.
