Defeat Joro in Nioh with this guide. Learn Joro's moves and unlock the Hidden Teahouse and Itokuri Guardian Spirit.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Joro is a slow boss with a large weak spot on her back. Use fire, such as Fire Talismans, to deal extra damage. Stay behind her to avoid most of her attacks.
  2. 2
    Boss Moves:
  3. 3
    Web Spit: Joro spits web blobs that slow your movement. She can spit one, three, or five blobs, covering a large area. Move to the other side of the room when she uses this.
  4. 4
    Leg Attack: A frontal attack with her small front legs. It has limited range and is slow, allowing you to dodge and attack.
  5. 5
    Slow String: A frontal attack that inflicts the "Slow" status effect. Evade left or right. If hit, stay defensive until it wears off.
  6. 6
    Jumping Slam: Joro jumps and slams her body down. Dodge out of the way unless you are out of Ki (stamina).
  7. 7
    Lunge Attack: A straightforward frontal rush attack that can be evaded by dodging left or right.
  8. 8
    Defense Mode/Body Spin: Joro lowers herself to protect her rear, then performs a 360-degree spin attack. Only use "get in, get out" attacks when she is in this mode.
  9. 9
    After defeating Joro, watch a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) where you meet Danjo, who transports you to the "Hidden Teahouse" (a mechanic unlocked after this mission).
  10. 10
    You will obtain the Guardian Spirit "Itokuri" via spirit division.
  11. 11
    Visit the "Hidden Teahouse" to select a "Clan" to fight for, which provides different bonuses.
  12. 12
    The Sub-Mission "The Disappearing Ranjatai" is unlocked.
Tips
  • Focus on attacking Joro's weak spot on her back.
  • Fire Talismans are effective against Joro.
  • Maintain mobility by avoiding the web blobs from Web Spit.
  • Heal when necessary, as Joro is not overly aggressive.
  • Choose a clan in the Hidden Teahouse based on the bonuses they offer.
