Nioh 3 Text Boss Guide All-in-One: powerpyx.com/nioh-3-boss-guide-all-bosses
This is the first boss with 2 proper phases and 1.5 healthbars. After getting him to half health, he transforms and gets a full healthbar back. You should be Level 100+ for this and have Level 90+ equipment.
Our Ninjutsu strategy with Dual Ninja Swords works again. However, he doesn't take much damage from Ninjutsu, but critical damage from behind will rip through his health super fast, especially if you have a Crucible weapon. By now you've got the gist of the boss design in this game. Dodge forward-left to get behind the boss, dodge his combo in Ninja Style for fast Ki recovery, then do combos from behind for massive critical damage. Throw a Shuriken between each of your combos to let your Ki recharge a bit, and Shuriken also does good crit damage from behind.
For summoning seals, equip a Scampuss Soul Core and Ibaraki Doji Soul Core, which you should have gotten automatically by this point. Ibaraki summon deals massive Ki damage, use it when he's around half Ki and you'll stagger him (keep it for his 2nd phase). Then attack him from behind with :square: combos with a :triangle: finisher each time, throw shuriken, repeat. This will tear through half his health within seconds. Then keep spamming Scampuss summoning seal while you keep attacking from behind. The scampusses stay around for relatively long and are good for depleting his Ki. Focus primarily on depleting his Ki, then dealing crit damage from behind.
