Tips
  • Okatsu is fast and agile, so mastering range and Ki management is crucial.
  • The Gyokuto Buff increases the range of her sword strikes and kicks.
  • Using items like Sloth Talisman can be helpful.
  • Focus on punishing her attacks after she commits to a combo.
  • Be mindful of her Ki, as it can be exploited for openings.

Boss Encounter: Okatsu (Dojo Battle)

This fight is similar to previous encounters with Okatsu but with a key difference: limited healing items (only three). Prepare by using buffs like Power Pills and Gallnut Broth. Aim to poison her early with Poison Shuriken. Use Makibishi and Groundfire to punish her advances. Her agility means you need to master range and Ki management. She gains a 'Gyokuto Buff' which extends her attack range. Be ready to punish her combos and exploit her Ki. A Quick Change Scroll is a valuable safety net.
