Shima Sakon

[Indoril Nerevar]

unlimited living weapon... very nice game design :) is there any way to counter this ?

[Fat Black Yosh]

easy peasy ;), shoot him in the head (anytime but not during his startup of LW), or paralyze him, or deplete his ki somehow with throwable shurikens/kunai, yeah.

[: D]

OR you could dash in and get a quick attack off and dash out, classic hit n run, if the above is not your thing.

When in doubt use sloth and weakness talisman.

After too much tries I already defeated him thanks guys. I didn't had any kunais or shurikens so, I killed him with hit and run. Also I realized his attacks are so slow and I didn't even used 1 elixir after I understand how he is works lol

That's the way to beat this game ^_^. Dedicated effort, learning moves (your own and your opponents), and a bit of elbow grease.

I will say that Shima Sakon is one of the hardest bosses in the game on later difficulties. Well done on clearing him here!

Thank you !! I want to ask something. Giant Toad or Sakon which one is the hardest ? I had really hard time at Toad too.

On WotW/WotN, both are a pain. Toad is more of a matter of timing. Once you get used to his new pattern he's really not that bad, only becoming overly dangerous with a side boss. Sakon, however, continuously rate in my top 4 most annoying bosses, trading places with Yukimura, Masamune, and Shigezane depending on which one got me last.

I don't know who are these :D I think I'm not even near to finish this game then lol. I asked because boss battle area was too small in Toad battle. I had really hard time to dodge his attacks. After that I had a battle with Toad in another map and I killed him easily because I had enough space. Sakon's most annoying thing is his unlimited living weapon right ? I think he has a large health pool too

Those are definitely some of Sakon's strong points, and he's absolutely meant to be a beast - if you watched his post-battle cinematic, you'd know he's frankly too good for Ishida, but stuck around anyways.

You're at a comfortable point in the game. You're entering Region 6, IIRC, and you have some fun fights ahead of you. Don't worry, if you had fun with Shima Sakon you're going to love the next boss, and there are plenty more surprises waiting for you ^_^

I killed the skeleton and yes I had fun with him :D thank you

There is a sub mission, i think DLC where you will have more fun battling Shima Sakon again with different patterns.

You of course.

A bit of a late comment since you already beat him but if you play unlocked then Sakon falls to the same tactic as pretty much all human enemies. Dodge past him(or rather into him) at the first flinch of an attack and hit him to back. Being in living weapon only means that he can't be stagger locked into a full combo from behind so you have to hit him only limited times. Repeat until he's dead.
