HOW TO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ KILL SECOND BOSS

[H 4 Z E]

I TRIED EVERYTHING AND ITS NOT WORKING AT ALL

[H 4 Z E]

-.- it pisses off,you all say you can block or dodge his attacks easily. BUT I JUST ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CANT. HIS ATTACKS CANT BE BLOCKED OR DODGED. THIS BOSS IS THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD IN ANY SLASHER SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FAR

Just learn his signs of attacking and dodge-roll to the side, then rush his ass and use your special while he's recovering. Back the hell up, and repeat. I got wrecked by him the first few times I fought him, but you can get used to him pretty quickly. Once you know when he'll attack you're sorted. Gl

What I did, after getting killed by this one so many times, was to hit and run. He has a predictable attack pattern, which gives you a few seconds to dodge or jump.

Yes, jump. That up-close melee of his (which is unblockable) can be dodged in place by jumping. He might clip your hitboxes as he slams down, but there's a bigger chance to avoid his attacks with the jump.

He takes a few seconds to recover from his attacks. When that happens, lay on him with your melee and hit a bit with the sword. Once it's glowing red, keep hitting with your sword. If you have the Aerial sword attacks, now's the best time to use it and try to juggle the boss.

Watch his color change. Because once he gets out of Bleeding, he's going to do an AOE in place. It's avoidable, just run away fast enough once he's not blinking red anymore.

The boss has a third attack once you've chopped his health down quite a bit. It's a ranged, again unblockable beam attack. Good thing, though, is it is unidirectional. One good way to avoid it is to wait until he starts charging and then start running to the sides of the projected beam path, closing as you do so (since he's going to start shooting this often). I managed to get past this attack (after getting plastered by it twice) by closing on him and jumping to the boss' back once he's charging. Free strikes :D

His charge attacks are the easiest to avoid. Just dodge (direction button + block) sideways.

Hope this helps.

I don't think they are unblokable attacks ._. , I block every boss attack if I have the timing with the just guard and with the just guard you don't even need to face the attack ( a bit cheat I think xD)
I recommend you to perform the just guard for the first strike because when he jump if you block the first he will hit behind you the second, at this moment I do the Holy attack (Second step) , when he did the charge attacks the first idea I get was to performed flourish on it, the first charge flourish the second dodge and the third flourish ( if he block me in a corner I don't take the risk I dodge)
Sure it need a lot of training, after that the boss is easy even in inferno because he don't even hit you.

2nd boss is most vulnerable when he does the uppercut+jump+grandslam combo. He will stay put for you to get a single katana combo in or use your special to get health.

Dodge roll the charges and KEEP MEDIUM DISTANCE. Medium distance will make the boss do the uppercut combo.

If you get too close, he starts a punching combo that follows you even if you roll. And it hurts a lot.

Rinse and repeat.

Sprint immediately, moving out of the way of his attack. Either lunge attack towards him, or do a normal sword slash combo if you're close enough, but never more than three hits. After the third hit, immediately hit sprint and run away. Repeat ad nauseum. When he's bleeding, use Zanshin (the sword sheathing move, whatever it's called) twice, but make sure you're a safe distance.

Never more than three hits, unless you like to live dangerously. And really, don't bother trying to roll, just sprint everywhere.

It takes a bit to get a feel for it, but run -> slash -> run -> slash works well, and it's pretty safe. It also seems that you can cut the animation of the last swing short by hitting sprint, so you'll be less vulnerable. You can just sprint out of the way of every attack though, as long as you don't stop running.

Easy,I only got hit two times by him using this strategy,was playing on Hard Mode,so Easy and Normal is alot easier as well.Just keep dashing and when he rushes to attack dash diagnolly(If thats how you spell that,sorry my english is bad)then if you have the zangeki attack upgraded so when you press w+i she dashes fast,just dash as he is trying to recover and press w+i like 3-4 times,then dash fast away too.keep repeating,and when he is ready to start rushing you for his three hit combo wait till you see him throw first punch and keep dodging diagnolly then continue dashing.As for beam attack just dash fast to opposite of where he is aiming you should outrun it,but as he does every one of these attacks and trys to recover from each,again do w+i to dash to him and hit him 3-4 times using that combo move,i even got up to a 200 hit combo on him lol was so easy it takes time and patience but you will win easy this way.

If you want to see a video on how to kill him here is one; he's pretty simple if you follow and avoid his patterns. Gameplay is on Very Hard difficulty. What Hyokkuda shows is easy to do if you have the skills, but won't work if you haven't upgraded yet or are playing on an even harder difficulty.
