Sanada Yukimura - How the hell do you beat him?

[Desolate Eden]

I don't use magic at all, I use a sword and he is so fast I can't get a hit in without getting combo'd to death, this is brutal. I think this might be the hardest boss in the game.

[Darksidewalker]

Why don't you use magic/ninjutsu? Do you want it to be harder?
The game is made to use all that stuff and awakened weapons...

[Desolate Eden]

I just never played it with magic for some reason. I played it like a souls game and I dont have the sloth talisman unlocked now to cheese it, I havent done the dojo missions since I didnt give magic any thought and I dont wanna leave the mission to do it and then come back to having to re-do it all again because i spent ages doing it. The mission is lvl 200 and im only 135. Most I use are the poison ground traps and shurikens for yokai since they are op and tanky.

[Desolate Eden]

I also use living weapons but dont have enough amrita to cheese the boss, i have enough for 1 use

Using magic or jutsu is like using items. I hope you don't intend to replay the game for it`s hardest difficulties and to unlock the 999 Abyss stages, because without jutsu and magic you're not going to last.

Use sloth and be done with it

I would if I didnt have to exit the mission then do the dojo mission to unlock sloth and then re-do the entire mission which took me like over an hour because Im severely underleveled lol

Then summon someone and let yourself be carried for this one (which one was that btw? i'm not good with names) and then go and get yourself some magic.

You can exploit his dive attack when he's in his fire mode. When he jumps in the air roll towards him and attack him 3 times. This is by far the safest way to beat him and when he enters his wind mode you can activate your living weapon when he's in the air above you. This will knock him down and you can force him out of his living weapon. After that you can try to backwave him if you want or just go crazy with your living weapon.

There's also the option to climb the stairs and shoot him in the head while he tries to shoot you, which he can't because you're standing above him. You can also shoot him down when he's in the air while he's using his wind living weapon.

[Desolate Eden]

I can't summon that's dishonorable lol, I'm trying to beat the entire game on my own it would feel bad to get help after getting this far alone, but thanks pavod3 I'll try that :)

Wait for him to have low KI and then throw yokai pot at him :)

level 135 is ok. You can never really match your level with the mission level. Especially on way of the nioh where you will be playing missions that are 350+ levels above you. And you don't really need sloth for sanada.

He's probably the most hyper aggressive boss I've seen in this game. I managed to get him down to 70% twice so far, but there's so little room for error in this fight its disgusting lol

Game isnt made to use all the stuff stop misleading people like that. You can easily get through the game and all DLC as a melee only build I know I did.

true. you can beat him using katana or two swords and making fast dodges. YOU DON'T NEED ANY MAGIC OR NINJUTSU, only reflex and good perception as with every boss.

[Desolate Eden]

Yeah I've pretty put beaten the entire game and dragon of the north dlc so far without ever using any magic, I havent even unlocked any magic from the dojo missions like I said. I just ran through the entire game only using a katana and rarely an odachi secondarily

[Doc Holiday]

What difficulty, Way of The Samurai? He was easy for me there, even as a low level
