Part 155

Learn how to counter Hundred Eyes' devastating moves in Nioh. This guide breaks down every attack, from Laser Eye Sweep to Blood Shards, so you can emerge victorious.

Alright, let's talk about Hundred Eyes. This boss can seem pretty overwhelming with all those eyes and tentacles, but honestly, once you know what you're looking for, it's not too bad. We'll go through each of its main attacks so you can get a feel for the rhythm and know exactly how to react.

Boss Moves:

1. Laser Eye Sweep: This is one of those moves that looks scarier than it is. Hundred Eyes uses its side tentacles to sweep inwards while firing lasers. You'll see it coming from a mile away. Just dodge *through* the beams – it's easier than it sounds – and you'll be right in position to attack its sides.
2. Rear Tentacle Smash: Ideally, you won't even see this one. It's an attack Hundred Eyes does when you're directly behind it, smashing down tentacles on either side and then in the middle. The best way to avoid it is to just not hang out behind him for too long. Keep moving and focus on attacking its sides.
3. Laser Eye Summon: This is probably its most annoying move. Hundred Eyes will often plop down to regenerate some health and summon a bunch of small eyeballs that shoot lasers. Don't worry too much about the damage from these little guys; they go down in a single hit, especially with a sweeping weapon. If it's healing, take out the eyes and then go back to wailing on Hundred Eyes. Heads up: the second time it does this, those eyeballs will stick around, so make sure you clear them out then.
4. Staff Swing: Pretty straightforward – Hundred Eyes swings its giant staff outwards. If you're sticking to its sides or dash inwards, you'll completely avoid this. It might do it twice in a row, but that's rare. Guarding is a last resort; getting in close to its sides is way better. It can also do an outward slam with the staff, which is even easier to dodge with a quick left or right dash.
5. Blood Shards: Think of this like Yuki's Icicle Attack. Hundred Eyes summons blood shards above itself and fires them at you. The key here is to watch its hands. When it drops an arm like it's saying
