Defeat Joro in Nioh with this guide. Learn Joro's moves and unlock the Hidden Teahouse and Itokuri Guardian Spirit.
Walkthrough
- 1Joro 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.
- 2Boss Moves:
- 3Web 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.
- 4Leg Attack: A frontal attack with her small front legs. It has limited range and is slow, allowing you to dodge and attack.
- 5Slow String: A frontal attack that inflicts the "Slow" status effect. Evade left or right. If hit, stay defensive until it wears off.
- 6Jumping Slam: Joro jumps and slams her body down. Dodge out of the way unless you are out of Ki (stamina).
- 7Lunge Attack: A straightforward frontal rush attack that can be evaded by dodging left or right.
- 8Defense 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.
- 9After 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).
- 10You will obtain the Guardian Spirit "Itokuri" via spirit division.
- 11Visit the "Hidden Teahouse" to select a "Clan" to fight for, which provides different bonuses.
- 12The Sub-Mission "The Disappearing Ranjatai" is unlocked.
