Essence of extreme Dragon

[Dratak]

So I've started a legend playthrough of the game. One of the things I struggled with in my first playthrough (in normal mode) was the last fight against Nishiki : he kept regaining hp since I didn't grind the "Essence of extreme Dragon"

Now I just saw that to get this ability you need to get Majima everywhere SSS and beat him thrice which to be honest is something that will take time.

So my question is the following : In order to prevent Nishiki from regaining his hp and making a long and hard fight even longer and harder, do I need to need to grind Majima ? Or is there a way to cheese it.

There is no way i'll power though in legend difficulty.

Since i want to start a 100% save file after the legend playthrough i need to know if I'll use the one on normal mode (just finished the main story) or if I grind with the legend one.

Heat drinks are your solution.

I know i'm way late to this convo, but in case anyone else sees this looking for an answer, I've found that any heat action you use on someone currently regaining HP stops it. This includes any weapon-based heat actions, so what I usually did was use Essence of Mad Dog: Dagger
