Learn how to defeat Okatsu in Nioh, focusing on her Gyokuto Buff, sword combos, and Kunai throws. Master her range and Ki management.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Okatsu is extremely agile, moving quickly and launching combos before disengaging. Punish her attacks when her Ki is depleted to land Grapples and Finishing Attacks.
  2. 2
    Master the range of her attacks to bait her moves and counter-attack.
  3. 3
    When Okatsu takes damage, she will use the Gyokuto Buff, indicated by a talisman effect and glowing feet. This buff extends her attack range and may increase speed.
  4. 4
    Buff yourself with items like the Sloth Talisman for extra damage and survivability. Apply other Talismans for additional damage.
  5. 5
    Use buffing and debuffing items when Okatsu has lost some health to maximize their effectiveness.

Boss Moves:

  • Gyokuto Buff: Not an attack, but extends the range of Okatsu's melee attacks.
  • Sword Combos (Without Gyokuto):
    • Sword Slash
    • Iai Quickdraw (charges and slashes)
    • Iai Quickdraw with follow-up attack
  • Sword Combos (With Gyokuto):
    • Sword Slash with downward kick attack.
    • Iai Quickdraw with follow-up attack AND downward kick attack.
  • Kunai Throw: Okatsu throws a fan of five Kunai. Usually, only 1-2 will hit you due to spread.
Tips
  • Focus on managing your range and Ki to effectively punish Okatsu's attacks.
  • Use the Quick Change scroll if you are in serious trouble.
  • Buffing yourself with Talismans like Sloth can significantly help.
  • Study Okatsu's attack ranges to effectively bait and counter her moves.
  • Keep your Ki up to enable effective punishment after her combos.
