If you've made it this far, congrats, this is the final boss in Nioh 2. As you might suspect, Otakemaru is a combination of some of the worst things we've seen and a couple new moves. Thankfully, since this is the end, this is one fight where, if you're in a good enough position, you can overcome...

As Nioh 2's story builds up to an epic climax with Tokichiro and Kashin Koji (the old yokai that appears from time to time), it follows the tradition of JRPG boss fights. Here you have to survive a three phrase fight that can be overwhelming, though none of the bosses are particularly beefy....

Lady Osakabe offers us another huge boss that is rather easy, at least if you have decent skills in Nioh 2. After most fights coming down to, quite honestly, how well you can manipulate stats, build your samurai, get lucky, find aid and unlock skills, this one returns us to a simpler time when you...

In so many ways Shuten Doji is a scary boss in Nioh 2. There is the build up, situation, backstory and story conventions of crazy drunks that somehow have amazing fighting skills and then there is the reality that this is a pretty basic fight. What makes Shuten Doji hard is the amount of damage...

Just looking at Daidara Bocchi you'd expect a fearsome boss, but Nioh 2 follows the tradition of larger bosses being easy. Not only are his moves limited and attacks easily managed, he isn't deep enough to cause issues for most players. Still, if you're having trouble, here is everything you'd...

Given the story importance of Tokichiro in Nioh 2, you'd expect him to be among the more impressive bosses, but he really isn't. While he gets a lot of cool skills and neat moves, he is limited to what a human can actually do and falls into the same traps that apply to you and others. Still, he...

In true gaming fashion, the hardest boss in Nioh 2 is not the final boss, an optional boss or even someone hyped up to be an unstoppable force. Instead, it's Shibata Katsuie's "true form," which is the perfect recipe to be difficult for most players. While there is no perfect way to beat him, it...

If you played the last chance demo for Nioh 2, then you should already know the terror of Ryomen Sukuna. Thankfully, this is a boss that is easy, provided you can keep your cool. That is, assuming you don't just die to arrow fire or elemental damage. General tips While every boss has their...

Kasha is probably the only boss in Nioh 2 that can either be a nightmare or fairly doable. This all starts by the realization she will have a lot of fire power and multiple quick attacks, similar to the wheelmonk enemies you faced earlier in the level, but she isn't anywhere near as cheap. That...

Similar to Gyuki's non-boss counterpart, he looks more threatening than he actually is. Not only is this one of the slowest moving bosses in Nioh 2, it's one where the optional AI summons can be invaluable. Especially if you just want to overwhelm and defeat Gyuki without breaking a...

After fighting Magara Naotaka, you'd think the next boss in Nioh 2 like him, Azai Nagamasa, would be a nightmare, yet he is pretty easy. Here the name of the game is pretty simple. Wait, strike and don't get overly aggressive. Still, a couple moves can be tricky and it isn't like there is an easy...

Up to this point you've probably realized yokai are much bigger threats than humans, but humans that have some yokai aspects are typically the most dangerous things in Nioh 2. Magara Naotaka is the first example of this, but not the hardest, which requires a fairly different play style to...

Getting to Tatarimokke can be one of the most tedious aspects in Nioh 2. Not only do you need to dodge a light that triggers another realm, you also need to deal with a rather annoying enemy that has some cheap distance attacks. It's not going to kill you as much as distract you from larger...

Now that you're fighting another human boss in Nioh 2, you might expect the worst but Saito is more of a continuation of what Imagawa Yoshimoto is all about. On one hand this is great news but on the other it means you're in for another rather easy fight. General tips While every boss has...

I don't think there is any yokai boss easier to defeat than Kamaitachi in Nioh 2. Not only is his move set rather basic, he is one boss that can easily be overcame with a good defense over a solid strategy. But, if you want to ensure victory, it never hurts to know your foe. General...

At this point you should have a good idea of the basics Nioh 2, none of which are really needed here. Yokai bosses and honestly enemies in general require a lot more skill and planning to defeat than some of the human characters, which in some ways are the easiest bosses in the game. Naturally,...

Yatsu-no-Kami is an important boss due to the simple fact it rounds out the tutorial aspect of Nioh 2. Mezuki plays into the dodge mentality most players start with, this builds to using counters against Enenra and concludes with Yatsu-no-Kami teaching you the importance of blocking and Ki...

Similar to Mezuki, Enenra acts as less of a boss and more of a test of your abilities. This time you're in a small room, Enenra can put a lot of pressure on you and success will hinge on whether or not you can accurately read and react to his moves. Thankfully, due to this being a test, he isn't...
