flaming head dudes.

[.VM8RA]

you know the extra level on map 3 where the guitar playing guy keeps summoning guys for you to kill?

well on the last part, I need an effective way of killing those flaming heads fast. They keep stun-locking me.

I would not have as much problems with the dual wielding guy and the big skellie really as I can kite them, but when you throw in like 5 flaming headsa that stun lock you, it's bad.

If I have a way of getting rid of those quickly then I think I have it. I don't wanna have to summon help, I'd like to do the game solo.

thanks. so will I get more ninjitsu points by levelling the familiarity on a weapon or something? I'm going to google it now anyway as I need 8 points for the extra life and explode on death. I think those 2 might be cool.

No, ninjutsu points you only get from ninja locks and from leveling the ninjutsu stat.
The ninjutsu dojo missions are unlocked at specific ninjutsu skill levels.

it's the boss fight though. you can't get to the summoner until you get the key from the rev.

I normally just snipe the summoner when it's an option. this particular encounter is bonus level 3-2.

Enjoy. I used the most basic skills in this fight. Except Heavenly Chain but sure u can use Morning Moon instead, it doesn't make much different though.

I don't have a very high str stat to use odatchi or axes currently.

I tend to use kusa or spear currently. I have a few points in skill as I was going to be using dual swords at one point and I started with a sword so got some points in heart. I may wanna flesh out heart for bow damage, but I prefer the rifle tbh, it seems to hit a lot harder. it completely destroys those mimic walls if you mess up the emotes. arrows do nothing to them.

I find the kusa and spear are a good set, they might not share the same stats, but body seems good to pump for health as well so makes sense.

Are you talking about the mission called "Kanbei and the Overlord" in the Kyushu region? Or are you talking about a mission in the Kinki region, which is map 3? Because the only guitar guy I can remember being locked away is on map 1 (ie. Kyushu).

I'm going to assume the former, but you're just being misleading. In which case just run around hitting the heads, don't lock onto anything, use sprint a lot, and only go for the heads first. Those things are always worth being rid of, else you'll find them stunlocking you when a big guy is winding up to send you into orbit.

I would worry about this now, I'd combine getting all weapons efficiency with quite a few titles by killing humans in one of the later zones - Sekigahara. That's where I worked on getting non main weapons to 500000 (and beyond) for both dodjos and titles.

yeah that one. I have no trouble with it till the last stage when the heads stun lock me. I can't kill them fast enough.

Granted I only tried twice and would get it eventually anyway. I just wanted to know if there were any ways of dispersing them fast. I may try lobbing kunai at them.. for that I'd have to be locked on though so might not be the best way of dealing with it.

I used a branch ot return to home anyway and went back to practice a bit and farm.

You don't have to be locked on them, they just need to be on the direct path kunai is flying. With storm kunai it even easier - you might be locked on a rev for example and if oni-bi is in the cone of storm kunai, it will die too.

But honestly, I highly recommend u finish dojos whenever it is available. More skills = more options to play with. Besides, it is very short missions, it doesn't take long

I only have gotten the first ninja one so far. do you know what actually unlocks the dojo missions?

10 15 20 dex/magic stat but also progress in main story.

I dont think you have more than 1 real dojo mission at the point you are at.


wide sweeping attacks help against the heads or quick charging attacks like tonfa low stance heavy attack.

Keep these in mind:
- Level doesn't matter. Your gear and skill do matter.
- The game encourages you to play with different weapons and it REWARDS you samurai points when you are doing so.
- Dojos are available for you as you progress the game.

I'm gonna assume you are playing with Axe and Odachi right ? In my opinion, playing with 2 heavy weapons in very early game isn't a good choice (unless you have experiences). Instead, you can make you life easier with 1 heavy weapon and 1 fast weapon for situational approach.

No I play with Kusa and Spear mostly. I don't have the STR to make heavy weapons work right now, or at least be all that strong. where as I almost have 15 in body and dex.

thanks for all the replies guys.

I haver a quick question about level 4.

I just opened an area and it has some statues that really look like they're coming to come to life and kill me!? do I have to attack them first or is it scripted? I'm right next to a shrine.

also is that area in the middle with the gate, the boss? I'd actually thought I was at the end until I opened another gate to the second shrine (I really thought it was going to just be a quick level with 1 shrine with how the shortcuts work, but now it's thrown me off a bit)

I mainly just don't wanna open a gate and get locked into a boss battle, so I'm extremely weary about opening that gate to the area in the middle.

I have seen the Nuh fighty already back from the alpha so I don't have any issues there. just wanna know if I open that gate will it lock me into the fight, and what makes the statues come to life? there are 2 of them and I don't wanna have to fight 2 giants at once (anor londo anyone? ha ha)
