Part 156

Conquer Part 156 of Nioh! Learn II Naomasa's spear attacks, Guardian Spirit Raiken, and the best strategies to defeat him in 'The Red Oni of the Ii' mission.

Alright, we're diving into Part 156, which means we're up against another boss! This time, it's a duel against II Naomasa from the mission "The Red Oni of the Ii." Don't let the fact that he's a spear user scare you; this fight is actually pretty fun and offers some great rewards, including a Guardian Spirit and new armor with a sweet set bonus. Totally worth the effort!

Before we get into the thick of it, here are a couple of handy tips to start the fight strong. As soon as the battle begins, you can actually land a free headshot on Naomasa. It might not be the most honorable move, but he'll drop to the ground, letting you get in a free finishing attack. It's a great way to shave off some of his health right off the bat! Also, keep an eye out for a rock on the left side of the arena. You can use this for a little breathing room if you need to heal up or reposition.

Now, even though you've likely seen many of his moves before, it's always good to refresh our memory on what Naomasa can do. He's a spear user, so expect a lot of familiar skills from that weapon tree.
