so how do you fight this mini boss on higher difficulties? just killed this miniboss the hard way by also fighting the ministry mob in the same room. there is no way i'm killing this mini boss on higher difficulties.

I usually use Puppeteer Ninjutsu on the ministry mob - you can get a stealth kill on him if you stay against the wall to your left when you enter the boss room. Otherwise, it's just a matter of memorizing the boss' attack patterns.

backstab his minion then quit the game and reload, the minion will still be dead but you will be outside and he will be facing away from you waiting for you to backstab him which will get rid of one of his health bars, then you just gotta get rid of the second health bar the hard way.

I just beat him in NG+7 last night. I still have the charm and I beat him in one try.

I used this method:

If you stay behind the boss as he attacks your puppet you can hold attack and stab his health down at range then back away so the puppet draws aggro again. The thrust attack should avoid your puppet.

If you're fast you'll get a deathblow before the puppet dies.

Phase two is a bit harder but dodging works well if you keep your distance and force him to charge you. He will telegraph most of his attacks giving you a chance for an attack and retreat before he recovers.

Stay out of his space or his attacks become relentless.

Chip him down and you'll get there.

Sabimaru is good if you play aggressively. Firecracker if you play defensively.

I burn the ♥♥♥♥ out of him every time. It works pretty well, since he will be stunlocked. I use also the puppeteer ninjutsu... But maybe (and I will say it again: MAYBE) the ninjutsu of the blood cloud (I don't know if it's the correct name, it's the one that makes a blood curtain) can help you making the first stealth kill
