Tips
  • When fighting Shima Sakon, be aware of his spear attacks, including grapple moves like "Leg Sweep" and "Body Swap," and his "Celestial Weapon" attack.
  • Dodge his "Celestial Weapon" attack by moving to the side.
  • Be cautious of his "Headbutt" grab attack, which deals minor damage but can be dangerous if your health or Ki is low.
  • As Shima's health decreases, he will summon his Guardian Spirit, Kara-Jishi, which electrifies his weapon. Avoid getting hit to prevent being electrified, which slows attack and movement speed.
  • Utilize buffs and debuffs, saving Onmyo's Sloth Talisman for the later stages of the fight.
  • Exploit Shima's low Ki when available.
  • Keep your health and Ki up throughout the fight.
