Master Part 159 of the Nioh 3 walkthrough. Learn strategies to defeat Tachibana Muneshige and Honda Tadakatsu, including boss moves and effective tactics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The fight is a two-on-one against Tachibana Muneshige and Honda Tadakatsu.
  2. 2
    It is highly recommended to focus on defeating Tachibana Muneshige first, then dealing with Honda Tadakatsu.
  3. 3
    Use the rock on the left to trip up Honda and create an opening to attack Tachibana.
  4. 4
    Consider using items like Sloth to slow down Honda while you focus on Tachibana.
  5. 5
    Be aware of Tachibana's healing move and avoid it.
  6. 6
    If direct combat is too difficult, consider alternative strategies:
    • Spamming Living Weapon, using Soulstones to extend its duration. Suzuka is a recommended Guardian Spirit for this.
  7. 7
    Using weapons that can knock down human enemies, such as a spear with strong attacks. Follow up a knockdown with a Finishing Attack for significant damage.
  8. 8
    As an Onmyo Mage, use Guardian Spirit Summon with Daiba-Washi. Stack "Guardian Spirit Talisman" and use it when both enemies are grouped. Daiba-Washi's wind attack can knock them down, allowing for repeated Finishing Attacks.
  9. 9
    Remember to separate Muneshige from Honda, potentially using the rock.
Tips
  • The fight requires practice and patience.
  • "Cheese" methods can help defeat Muneshige quickly to focus on Honda.
  • Mad props if you manage to win!

Tachibana Muneshige Boss Moves:

  • 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.
  • Arrow Barrage: Tachibana rolls back, fires three arrows in a spread pattern. Blocking is recommended, or dodge if possible.
  • Iai Quickdraw: A quick draw attack. Try to get out of range or block if you have enough Ki, then counter-attack.
  • Inner Strength: Tachibana's katana glows as he buffs his attack. Can be countered with Devigorate Talisman or attacked out of the animation if timed correctly.
  • Quadrisect: Sheathes and draws his sword in a flurry of strikes. Block if you have enough Ki, otherwise dodge away or try to get behind him.
  • Summon Guardian: Summons his Spirit Guardian, Raiken, onto the field.
  • Success in this fight is its own reward, along with progression in the game.
