Heir to the Nioh sub mission tips?

[Witcher]

Since there's no thread for this subject/title, I might start one ;P

What's the fastest way to get rid of the 2 mini umis in phases 1 & 2. They also get in my way when dodging the fast dual daggers Yoki and then the one-eye Oni.

Also, does the feather/raven boss have any weakness - e.g., fire?

there are 2 bonfire for that mission no? Similarly to umi bozu mission if you leave the bonfire lit in the arena the mini umi should die instantly when spawn. Or you an simply just toss bombs at them, they are almost free anyways.

Regarding tengu, no weakness it seems. Just sloth it.

The mini umis respawn in both phases despite all 3 bon fires remain litted.

I have thrown bombs at them but they don't die instantly - need to hit the one more time for every bomb :/

not sure about the mini umi not dying instantly again, might need to test more.
But 2 bombs are needed for each mini umi normally, unless you happen to toss it when they are melee-ing which leaves their 'core' open.

That's just how it works for your level.

they are weak to fire so run to the bonfire the first thing when you get inside and light up youe sword on fire. Hit them as soon as they spawn but dont forget to dodge their attacks. They are weak to fire obviously. The tengu is another story though,you have to dodge his attacks first before you can hit him, even with LW on if you're not careful he'll whack you once and your LW will just die.

Well, if you so happen to have points into magic both normal fireshot and exploding one oneshot alll slime type enemies in the game.
Alternatively any fire guardian spirit, Kato will do, and Guardian Spirits talismans, or if you are not speced into magic - Moment talismans will do since they are basicaly the same thing. Though you need to be carefull since they usualy have short range.
Karasy Tengu is, believe it or not, not a boss. It will be a normal mob later on. It is one of the most painfull to deal with though. Sloth talismans are recomended. They are also very weak to lighting damage, and it also has a side effect of slowing too.

Yes, I run to fire and then to collect my guardian spirit left on the boards previously. After I kill the first mini-umi, the dual dagger comes out - he's fast and hits hard. One eye oni is slower but comes out before I get a chance to kill the mini-umis :/

I haven't gotten to fight Tengu yet and maybe have couple of Elixirs left by then ...

I would just summon help if I were you. That mission isn't worth the headache.

I summoned 4 visitors when fighting umi-bozu and 3 of them drowned ... can you help in say 4 hours time? ;P

I'll be asleep, sorry. Though if it makes you feel better you're far less likely to fall off compared to umi bozu.

Many thanks to the visitor I summoned first time for this mission for helping me complete this mission :)

How do I look up the history of my visitors? Sorry, I forgot your name ;)

In-game steam overlay should have 'View Players' next to 'View Friends'. That keeps track of recent matches, including summons.

throw blind bombs, at eveything. souls stones attached to a quick bar can refuel the living weapon whilst its active ive heard.

theres also poison & flame traps you can pull them through using ranged weapons.
