Master the Oda Nobunaga boss fight in Nioh Remastered with this comprehensive guide. Learn his moves, elemental enhancements, and effective strategies to defeat him.
Walkthrough
- 1Oda Nobunaga's Sword Combos:
- Overhead Attack: A strong, charged attack, easy to spot and dodge to the side.
- 2Normal Combo: An up to five-hit rapid sword flurry. Dodge backward to get out of range.
- 3Straight Sword-Thrust: Used at range, covers significant ground. Can be performed twice consecutively.
- 4Quadrisect: A special move only usable during Living Weapons.
- Fire Enhanced: Infuses his sword with fire, potentially inflicting the Fire status (damage over time). He can perform a supernatural jumping attack, falling with his sword for an area-of-effect attack. Warp away when he jumps high.
- Lightning Enhanced: Infuses his sword with lightning, potentially slowing movement. He can call down lightning strikes similar to Nue, but six in a row. Keep moving to stay safe.
- Ice Enhanced: Infuses his sword with ice, potentially reducing defense. He can perform the "Icicle Spear" attack, shooting six icicles one by one. Stay mobile and roll to avoid them.
- Earth Enhanced: Infuses his sword with earth, doubling Ki consumption for actions. He can also create "Earth Mines" that deal low earth damage and apply the Earth status effect when stepped on.
- Wind Enhanced: Infuses his sword with wind, potentially lowering attack. He can perform the "Wind Slash" move, creating blades of wind directly in front and diagonally. These cannot be blocked; roll to the sides.
- Kelley warps around frequently, often attempting a "Dark Shard Lunge" from behind. Roll away from your back when he warps. His warping can be semi-predicted to punish him.
- He has "get away from me" moves: "Ouroboros Flame" and "Ouroboros Wind."
- He uses a blocking move where Ouroboros' scales appear to block damage when attacked.
Tips
- For Oda's sword combos, dodging backward is generally safe due to their short range.
- When Oda uses his jumping Fire Enhanced attack, get away from him when he jumps.
- For Lightning Enhanced strikes, constant movement is key.
- For Ice Enhanced "Icicle Spear," stay mobile and roll.
- For Earth Enhanced "Earth Mines," avoid the purple areas on the ground.
- For Wind Enhanced "Wind Slash," rolling to the sides is necessary as they cannot be blocked.
- For Edward Kelley, anticipate his warp-behind attacks and dodge accordingly.
