Master the challenging boss fight against Tachibana Muneshige and Honda Tadakatsu in Nioh 3. Learn their movesets, weaknesses, and effective strategies to emerge victorious.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Boss: Tachibana Muneshige
    • Sword Combos: Standard high, mid, and low attacks, a two-hit swirling attack, Swallow's Wing, and Morning Moon. Expect various special skills like Iai Quickdraw and Quadrisect.
  2. 2
    Arrow Barrage: Rolls back, fires three arrows in a spread. Block or dodge. Minor damage unless close.
  3. 3
    Iai Quickdraw: A quick draw attack. Dodge out of range or block if you have Ki, then counter.
  4. 4
    Inner Strength: Katana glows, granting an attack buff. Counter with Devigorate Talisman or attack him out of the animation if timed correctly.
  5. 5
    Quadrisect: Sheathes sword, then performs a flurry of strikes ending with an outward slash. Block if you have Ki, otherwise dodge away or roll to his side/behind.
  6. 6
    Summon Guardian (Raiken): Summons his Spirit Guardian, Raiken, which darts forward. Block unless at a distance. Can perform a second attack as the fight progresses. Minor electrical damage and can cause stun.
  7. 7
    Boss: Honda Tadakatsu
    • Spear Attacks: Covers all spear attacks, including high and mid stance heavy attacks like Piercing Rain and Windmill. Dodge to the right to evade and potentially get behind him for punishment.
  8. 8
    Grab Attack: A short-range, sparkling grab. Dash away when seen.
  9. 9
    Combined Strategy: Prepare for a difficult fight requiring practice. Consider separating Muneshige from Honda, using the environment (like the rock mentioned) to your advantage. Alternatively, focus on quickly defeating Muneshige to then deal with Honda.
Tips
  • Use Daiba-Washi's wind attack to sweep enemies off their feet, enabling Finishing Attacks.
  • When fighting Muneshige, try to lure him away from Honda.
  • Dodging to the right is effective against Honda's spear attacks.
  • Be ready to dash away from Honda's grab attack.
  • If you have the Ki, blocking Iai Quickdraw and Quadrisect is a viable option.
  • Devigorate Talisman can counter Muneshige's Inner Strength buff.
