Help with O'Rin of the Water?

[Uncle Jon]

I'm having a hard time with this mini boss that I am trying to kill. Each guide I see for this boss has the player blocking the attacks and then when she does a Perilous Attack they jump kick on her and build a lot of posture on her.

But when I do that strat I barley build any posture on her and she regains it back quickly. How did this guide build so much posture? Was he further into the game? Any other strats for taking this mini boss down. I don't want to use cheese strats.

Yeah, I'd say deflecting is pretty key to beating her. Sabimaru is also great for inflicting the poison status, which helps prevent posture regen.

[Taikutsu]

Lock on to her, deflect her 4 swing combo, she'll follow up with a perilous sweep, jump kick her. Confetti helps ofc. Only attack after her sweep attack. Honestly, she will mostly be on the offensive so her posture doesn't recover that quckly. Also, you may want to fight Genichiro first. He will hammer deflect timings, mikiri countering and sweep jumps into your head.

btw did somebody try lazuli sabimaru on her?

[PanPan]

You just need training :
- When to Attack/Parry/Deflect
- Double Jump on her face after Kanji
- You don't even need Mikiri/Dodge/Run
This game need skill, not Xp & Stuff...

Learn to play before using items, they are useless if you die.
When you are ready : Confettis + Sugar + Firecracker...

Against terror, you will need Purple Gourd/Phoenix Unbrella/Malcontent

Have fun

You might want to work on your deflects as opposed to simply blocking. A step between, though, as you're working on it...

If she's recovering her posture too much you can take some of the tips people already mentioned or you can chip her vitality. A good window is when she does her perilous sweeps. Instead of jumping and kicking off her head, do a neutral jump (no directional input as you jump) and use air control towards her to land behind her. Hitting her from the back should let you land 2 or more attacks before she blocks/deflects.

Eventually she won't be able to recover her posture nearly as quickly and you should be able to build it up and down her.

This video has some of what I was mentioning in it as a direct example. It also kind of shows how it's unnecessary. But it IS an option:

Best advise I can give is to try to perfect your deflections, use a few stat buffs and just go for any openings you see.

One thing that i found that helped me was using the mortal blade on her, if you have gotten it that is. The move is called 'Mortal Draw' it is a skill. But why i say try that is what i did was ran up on her while she is playing that mandolin and got two hits in with the mortal blade then just look for an opening and use it again, also make sure to parry as much as possible + use your regular sword as much as possible to attack in between openings for mortal blade use.

I killed her without Confetti since I didn't know then that it would boost damage against ghostly enemies. I just dodged past her when she attacked, punished with two hits to back and repeated it until she was dead. Worked perfectly after I got the timing right. I went there early too(before Ashina Castle) so you definitely don't need to get more attack power to kill her.

[SeanTanamoBae]

I personally found Sabimaru at any level is very helpful in depleting the first part of her health bars, allowing me to build posture reliably with deflects and jumps.

[❤ FL☰☰K⬤]

Orin has a really big telegraph where she jumps back then floats off to your right and swoops in for a 4-5 hit combo. You can sort of bait her into repeating this motion just by being aggressive and in her face forcing her to use that move to space, and once you get the deflection chain down for that combo it becomes pretty simple to just try and keep repeating that exchange.

I mean you can kill almost any boss by using the immortal blade. I've killed all my bosse just by using that including the old Owl master,the O'rin of water, corrupted monk, shadow masanaga the spear bearer.

It's really easy if you know how to exploit the flaws in the bosses AI's.

[Evryx]

I dont know if anyone already posted this but. if you agro her the run across the bridge to the stairs and turn right she will be kinda stuck trying to reach you/block your attacks. if however she gets up the stairs hit her 2 times the run against her back and hit her 2 times again she should turn around and then repeat the process again

[drz30]

You need to jump exactly on her head for posture to build up. Try to get in some hits whenever possible to reduce her health. And then like the tutorials said: deflect.
This fight is all about deflecting attacks very quickly.

O'Rin of the water was a GREAT fight for me. That's where this game realy "clicked" for me.

[foofighter_ii]

No Sabimaru or divine confetti here. Just learn the parry sequence or rythm. Also you can use the double Ichimonji to increase her posture meter. Her 3 and then 6 hit combo finished with a sweep attack can be parried and jump on her at the end to increase the meter almost to the half.
Rinse and repeat.

You man did you defeat orin ?
