Blazing Bull

[Prismatic Lollipop]

so this is just a mini boss but i'm struggling hard.
it's always charging and parrying it's attacks does next to nothing to it's posture.
am i supposed to just dodge and get some attacks in?
what is the key to this fight?

sounds dumb but yeah. Run around to get behind him and attack butt. almost nothing hits you but you have to stay behind him.

Just like ExWhiteWolf said, stay behind him. You'll be running a lot so if you get hit, back up far away enough to heal. Just don't get greedy. Hit and move. It might take a couple of tries but you'll get em :)

You start running and you don't stop running and you don't stop running and you don't stop running.

Btw, for later playthrough you will get a prosthetic which makes it easier to parry bull and you take no burn status buildup from it too. Also, try playing with charmless demon bell and see how bull is there, feels like you do no damage with the "attack the butt" strategy.

already killed it with the butt attack strategy, it took a while but it was succesful.
now i'm exploring more of the world, and the game feels like a modern take on Tenchu, i love it.

For future players I just took it down. Do big damage on the head. Keep a decent distance from the bull but not too far to where you cant throw a hit. The bull will be open for many single slashes to the head. Stand you ground, only run when you need to and focus on single hits to the head.

[RadioDokken]

everything said already but getting firecracker prostetics. its the most useful tool, especially to open against the bull, you can get crazy damage in. (reduce health=slower posture recovery)just keep in mind the bosses have a cooldown after they got stunned by it.

You're in for a ride if you liked Tenchu OP this game is gonna grab you hard! Minor spoiler for you: There is another bull much much later, same strategy for it though ;)

[Gørth]

throwing in my two cents for anyone who hasnt beaten it yet, i forgot the exact name but the prosthetic that shoots fireworks stuns the bull and makes it much easier to attack! when in doubt remember to look at your loadout and experiment

Yep.

most of the bosses in the first half of the game are skill-checks to make sure you have learned core mechanics.

The bull forces you to use things other than the block/parry, you gotta prove you can dodge and sprint to progress.

[nnfn3000]

the strategy that i used was running and parry, then try to identify after what attack he stay calm for few seconds and attack him or used fireworks also helps

Reach out again if you need anymore help and congrats for taking down the bull. You're just getting started.
