Has anybody found a reliable way to defeat Elizabeth?

[iBe ImmorTaLiiTy]

I dodge all her attacks, then when I attack her, all my attacks just go through her and she is impossible to hit. When I do finally get a hit on her, she dodges after it and immediately attacks. This fight breaks ninja gaiden for me, takes away all the fun.

I now just equipe the scythe, jump away from her, charge UT and hit her with it, do it 10x, win the fight with zero damage. Wtf. Worst designed boss ever.

Yes she is truly a challenge. Almost like Alma in NG1. All i can say is that slow weapons (at least for me) are performing really bad. I use Nunchucks, Dragonsword or Dual Katana.

The best option is to let her attack first. As you mentioned she is a Master-Dodger. There are some Attacks where you can land a hit. After her triple Tail attack or right after her Dash. This is not guaranted however. You cant rush her and you need patience. I keep my Distance and wait for my Window. I Hope this Helps

I find it SUPER annoying that even though you dodge all her attacks perfectly (like the three tail attack), that when you try to punish her, it either works or it doesn't. It all comes down to luck. Such a BS fight, I really hate it lmao

[vulKano_taichou]

i can understand haha :D its really a pain in the ass! But as many things in Master Ninja its a matter of practice. First it may seem impossible but soon you will surpass that limit. Keep going

Oh yea, I'm going into master ninja now (beat it on mentor last night), and I'm just going to spam the scythe UT again until she is dead. If she wants to be lame, I'll treat her lame hahah xD

boss fights need tweaking so fights have more variety instead of forcing the player to cheese.

[QuotationMarX]

Her fight boils down to wait for her to do her life steal or her grab and punish her for it and she goes down for a good amount of damage to rinse and repeat.... its just super annoying because she takes forever to start it and the games auto targeting system pretends to be mentally disabled when you try to attack her during it,

Og NG2 was all cheese, I have watched so many MN runs where all bosses where cheesed in some way, I love Ogng2 like everyone else but there was so much cheese going on in that game as to skill

This is how I do it.

Thats something that happens a lot in the Ninja Gaiden serie, especially against boss, and I really don't like that.
It does not reward the player.

For anyone struggling with this boss, I know a strategy that worked in the original Ninja Gaiden 2. Might work in this one. Scythe air strong attack (Ryu flps twice in the air and slams down). Just keep repeating that. It can stun lock her for chip damage and puts you in a movement cycle that her moveset has a hard time hitting. Takes patience, kinda boring way to fight, but effective. But I never verified if it works on later versions of the game.

Sigma 2 actually makes her way harder than in OG NG II. She's far more difficult to hit.

The running strong attack of Enma's Fang is a guaranteed punish after her dash. For some reason she never dodges it like she consistently will against almost anything else. It's a two hit combo (running Y, Y) and you can steal one more free hit after it.
Wait for her to dash towards you, dodge, running Y, Y, hit her once more, retreat, rinse and repeat.

Ayy good find! Would have probably used this if I still played the game (finished it on master ninja), but I just used the scyte UT charge... Gets it done fast and easy. F*ck her and playing fair hahah

She's the single worst designed boss in the Ninja Gaiden trilogy. Nothing about her is a challenge. The only consistent ways to beat her that don't sometimes take an eternity is a greatsword loop, and scythe UT spamming, neither of which makes the boss any better.

The very idea of designing a boss that can just randomly decide to not get punished unless she's caught in an obvious AI loop that was clearly not intended is braindead. Her fight should have honestly been completely redesigned from the ground up and not resembled what it was in either NGS2 or NG2.

[Arismania]

Its a little bit of doing the same thing untll it works. All you do is wait for her to finish attacking then attempt to punish her. Sometimes she block or dodges, but sometimes she gets hit. Just be patient :)

You can also just do the scythe UT spam next to genji's body in ch 14, but yeah.
